General Information:
Phlox divaricata are mildly fragrant, carefree natives for part shade. Foliage forms a creeping mat of loosely entwined stems with semi-evergreen oblong leaves. Excellent when combined with late spring flowering bulbs or as an underplanting. Prefers a moist soil.
Plant Care:
Trim back after flowering to the low green foliage for lush new growth. Do not prune in fall, clean-up winter damage in spring.
