Phlox divaricata laphamii ‘Chattahoochee’

• Soft lavender-blue flowers with a distinctive violet eye
• Perfect for dappled shade and woodland-style planting
• Spreading, low-growing habit ideal for ground cover
• Spring-flowering and attractive to early pollinators

Phlox divaricata subsp. laphamii Chattahoochee is a beautiful spring-flowering woodland perennial, producing loose clusters of fragrant lavender-blue flowers, each marked with a striking violet eye. Flowering in mid to late spring, it provides valuable early colour when much of the garden is just waking up.

This low-growing, spreading phlox is ideal for planting beneath trees, along shady borders, or in naturalistic woodland schemes where it will gently knit through other shade-loving plants. Its soft colouring pairs beautifully with ferns, hostas and spring bulbs.

Thriving in moist, well-drained soil in partial shade, Chattahoochee is easy to grow and reliable year after year. As well as its ornamental appeal, the nectar-rich flowers are a welcome source of food for early pollinating insects.
