Imagine the possibility of a fragrant carpet of rich, bluish-violet flowers gracing your garden each spring. The ‘Blue Moon’ selection Woodland Phlox is known for its compact growth and extra fragrant flowers with flat, overlapping petals. This is a creeping perennial making it a great choice for borders, rock gardens, groundcovers, or underplantings beneath shrubs. Like other phlox, powdery mildew can be an issue, so cut back the stems after flowering to help mitigate this concern. If Ol’ Blue Eyes was a gardener, we're confident he would have loved this woodland phlox.
