Phlox divaricata 'Louisiana Blue'
Also known as Wild Blue Phlox, Louisiana Phlox, Blue Woodland Phlox, Sweet William, Wild Sweet William
Phlox divaricata, often known as woodland phlox, is a lovely semi-evergreen native perennial that gently spreads through stem-rooting, creating beautiful mats of lush foliage. This delightful woodland species flourishes in rich forests and beside serene streams. In spring, it graces us with charming flowers that have five flat, notched lobes. Its stems, which are delightfully hairy and slightly sticky, support lance-shaped to elliptic leaves. Over time, this wonderful plant can form large, inviting colonies as its leafy shoots spread across the ground and root at their nodes.
The 'Louisiana Blue' variety is especially gorgeous, showcasing purple-blue flowers with eye-catching magenta centers in spring, which are sure to attract butterflies.
This beauty thrives in humusy, medium moisture, and well-drained soil, preferring the gentle embrace of partial to full shade. It loves rich, moist, organic soils and would greatly appreciate a light summer mulch to help retain moisture and keep its roots cool, ensuring a happy and healthy growth.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
