Duke Class of 2020

Ranging from lavender to blue, the Phlox divaricata is a small, native wildflower with dainty flowers that bloom in April and May. It grows to be 8 to 12 inches high and equally as wide. It does well in partial shade to full shade gardens.
As an added bonus to its lush color, the woodland phlox is known to attract hummingbirds and butterflies. If left to grow in your garden, the woodland phlox will form large colonies over time, as wildflowers tend to do.

The Duke Gardens Fall Plant sale will feature the 'Blue Moon' Phlox divaricata, known for its deep violet-blue flowers. Its blooms are not only colorful but very fragrant. The 'Blue Moon' is a good complement for gardens with ferns and hellebores and is certain to please gardeners seeking to bring a variety of color into their gardens.
