Phlox divaricata ‘Chattahoochee’
Woodland Phlox |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.410.900
The Woodland Phlox are all excellent for moist, shady borders, putting on a showy mid-spring display. This selection features fragrant, bright-blue flowers with a purple eye, over a low, spreading mound of bright green leaves. Plants exhibit better vigour and disease resistance than many of the older selections. Spreads to form a small patch, and divisions can easily be removed in early fall. Terrific when combined with spring blooming bulbs, especially narcissus. A native North American wildflower.
