A charming native woodland perennial, Woodland Phlox graces the early spring garden with fragrant clusters of pastel-blue, lavender, pink, or white flowers. Rising just a foot tall, it forms soft mats that blend beautifully among shade-loving perennials and under trees.
Woodland Phlox (Phlox divaricata)
These sweet, tubular blooms are spring magnets for butterflies, long‑tongued bees, skippers, hummingbirds, and moths; all of which reach deep into the flowers to access the nectar. It also supports woodland ecosystems as a native groundcover.
•Light: Thrives in partial to full shade; morning sun with afternoon shade can enhance bloom.
•Soil: Prefers rich, moist, humus‑rich, well‑drained soil. Tolerant of dry or clay soils once established. Mulching helps retain moisture and cool roots. 
•Bloom Time: Blooms April through May, bringing early spring color and pleasant scents. 
•Height & Spread: Grows approximately 10–15 inches tall, spreading via rhizomes to form spreading mats.
