12-15" tall. A selection of our native woodland phlox with loose clusters of cool pale bluish-white florets in late spring. Selected for its compactness, fragrance and refreshing color by Piet Oudolf, a garden designer famous for breaking from European gardening traditions and embracing holistic approaches.
Spreads by shallow rhizomes to create a light groundcover. Prefers moist rich woodland soil, full sun to part shade. Z3.
(2½" plug stock)
Items from our perennial plants warehouse ordered on or before February 20 will ship from March through early May, starting with warmer areas and finishing in colder areas.
Orders placed after February 20 will ship from late April through early-to-mid May.
Compact selections of our native woodland phlox featuring fragrant 5-petaled flowers held above semi-evergreen lance-shaped foliage. Blooms in April and May and spreads by shallow underground rhizomes and layered shoots to create a light ambling groundcover, politely popping up in small colorful patches. Thrives near stream banks and moist woodland meadows but will tolerate drier soils. Plant with Jack-in-the-Pulpit, lungwort and wild columbine for a spring show. Attracts long-tongued pollinators like bumblebees, swallowtails and sphinx moths. Not to be confused with the low-growing moss phlox, P. subulata, that creeps around old New England cemeteries. Plant 12" apart in moist rich woodland soil with good airflow. Full shade to part sun.
When you receive your order, open the bags and check the stock immediately. Roots and crowns should be firm and pliable. Surface mold is harmless and will not affect the plant’s future performance. Store plants in their packaging in a cool (35–40°) location until you are ready to plant. If it’s going to be awhile, you can pot up your perennials.
Do not plant bare-root perennial plant crowns directly outdoors before danger of frost has passed. Wet and/or cold conditions for an extended period may cause rotting.
