Slowly and steadily, this phlox will grow and multiply through the years, providing a larger and larger sweep of fragrant, cool-toned beauty over lightly shaded areas. It delivers a lot of color through the seasons, as it flowers from early spring to late summer, and cool weather turns the leaves to burgundy. The cool lavender-blue color looks beautiful with ferns. You'll want to keep the soil around ferns moist, and Blue Moon will be equally prosperous in this soil, so long as it's well-drained. This hybrid phlox is a result of exciting modern breeding efforts. It is an impressively flexible cultivar that can handle drier soils too—a great solution for dry shade. Phlox divaricata 'Blue Moon'
