Woodland Phlox

  • This delicate native perennial will spread to form mats of low-growing foliage.

  • It produces violet flowers in mid spring.

  • Grows best in full to part shade and rich, moist soil.

  • Its roots need to stay cool through the summer, so a layer of mulch or leaf litter is helpful.

  • Deer resistant and drought tolerant.
