In mid to late spring, clusters of fragrant lavender-blue flowers seem to float above the foliage, creating drifts of color that brighten woodland edges, shaded gardens, and beneath-canopy plantings. The softly colored blooms attract attention from across the garden while providing an early-season nectar source for pollinators emerging from winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many woodland wildflowers that disappear shortly after blooming, Woodland Wild Blue Phlox maintains attractive foliage throughout much of the growing season, helping it earn a permanent place in the garden. Its spreading habit allows it to gradually form colonies, creating a natural groundcover that fills spaces between larger plants. Equally at home in woodland gardens and partially shaded borders, it brings a soft, natural beauty that feels right at home in Wisconsin landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLight: Part shade to shade; tolerates full sun with adequate moisture\u003cbr\u003eSoil: Medium; prefers rich, well-drained soils with organic matter\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 1–1.5 feet\u003cbr\u003eSpread: 1–2 feet; slowly spreads to form colonies\u003cbr\u003eZones: 3–8\u003cbr\u003eBloom time: April through June\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife Value\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWoodland Wild Blue Phlox is an important early-season nectar source for butterflies, moths, hummingbird moths, and long-tongued native bees. Its fragrant flowers are especially attractive to swallowtails and other spring pollinators searching for nectar after winter. By blooming early in the season, it helps support insects at a time when floral resources can still be limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlooms Alongside:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/wild-geranium-geranium-maculatum\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewild geranium (Geranium maculatum)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/jacob-s-ladder-polemonium-reptans\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eJacob's ladder (Polemonium reptans)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/golden-alexander-zizia-aurea\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003egolden alexanders (Zizia aurea)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/meadow-anemone-anemone-canadensis\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCanada anemone (Anemone canadensis)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFor more information, please check out our \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/pages\/sizes-and-pricing\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003esizes, pricing and ordering page\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ci\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pretty Wild","offers":[{"title":"Plug","offer_id":45586962219187,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/0633\/1827\/files\/images_0a6e522f-af07-4f2d-9f20-518d53dfc56e.jpg?v=1781890038","url":"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/wild-blue-phlox-phlox-divaricata","provider":"Pretty Wild","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
