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, 'Louisiana', grows 12 to 15 inches tall and wide, and flowers are a light purplish-blue with violet eyes and very full petals. 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! Sheer after flowering to reinvigorate. Cat# 1419
