Woodland Phlox, Wild blue Phlox, Wild Sweet William

Phlox divaricata

This spreading phlox bears fragrant pink flowers in spring: a reliable garden perennial valued for its colourful summer display and attractiveness to butterflies and hummingbirds.

Fragrant pink flower clusters are produced in spring, attracting butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators.
Plant in full sun with good air circulation to minimize powdery mildew, a common challenge for garden phlox in humid Ontario summers.
Spreading habit, reaching 30 cm at maturity; divide every three years to maintain vigour and improve air circulation.
Best in partial shade to full shade with moist, well-drained soil.
