This unique phlox carries more of a fluttery characteristic than most phlox with its larger than usual blooms. The Blue Moon Woodland Phlox’s flowers emerge in shades of purple and violet, creating a carpet-like appearance over the bright green foliage. Blooming in late April, this perennial phlox is a welcoming addition to any landscape for earlier in the season, bright color. This tall phlox can be grown along a border, or can thrive within a container as well. 

This native perennial is hardy in zones four through eight. In Contrast to the creeping variety, this fragrant phlox grows upright, and tall. This phlox may look fragile, but it is tough and stands up to the elements of April in cold climates while providing an early season source of pollen and nectar for bees and hummingbirds. While it adds a nice pop of color mid-spring to landscapes, the long stems of this phlox would be of great use in a cut flower garden, for bouquets. 

Blue Moon Woodland Phlox Care 

The Blue Moon Woodland Phlox does well in full to partially shaded areas. It also thrives in moist, well drained soil. If there’s a spring drought, it should be watered to be kept healthy and able to bloom. It shouldn’t need to be fertilized, as most of its energy is spent blooming in late Spring, but a layer of mulch in the spring could be beneficial. 

This plant can be trimmed back to make room within the landscape or container once blooming is finished, in mid-summer. This plant will continue to bloom well into May.  

Blue Moon Woodland Phlox Spacing

This perennial works wonderfully in both landscapes and containers, as it grows tall at ten to twelve inches high. It should be planted 12 to 15 inches away from other phlox plants, as it will emerge larger each year.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
