Wild blue phlox is a spring blooming woodland phlox that is evergreen and low growing with flowering stems usually up to 15 inches tall holding beautiful, soft blue flowers in mid-spring. The 1 inch flowers are held in 5 inch clusters and are quite strongly and sweetly scented - the perfect lure for early spring butterflies. This variety, 'London Grove', is quite compact, growing 8 to 10 inches tall and wide. Its flowers are bright lavendar/blue, and its foliage turns a nice burgundy in the winter. It is a must for the woodland wild garden in light shade and good, moisture retentive soil. They should naturalize by seed. Combines beautifully with every color of spring! Cat# 1418
