Description
(8-12” tall x 6-12” wide) 'Chattahoochee' Woodland Phlox is a strong, lightly fragrant cultivar of our native woodland phlox that boasts clusters of light blue flowers with a deep violet-eye. It blooms mid-spring, just as woodland wildflowers and ephemerals are hitting their stride and other early spring stars such as Lenten Roses are coming to the end of their bloom. Once it has bloomed, it settles back into semi-dormancy without fuss or mess. The deep green foliage can be lightly trimmed to keep the habit tidy after bloom. 'Chattahoochee' Woodland Phlox will slowly spread through non-blooming stems that creep along the ground, rooting as they go. Plant in shade or partial shade in rich, moisture retentive soils that are not boggy. With good morning sun, bloom will be heavier. This maintenance-free native beauty can give your spring garden a beautiful, colorful boost while providing for those early pollinators! The flowers attract butterflies, especially tiger swallowtails, skippers, hummingbird clearwing and sphinx moths. Native to Eastern North America, this lovely woodland flower can be found in dappled shade in open="open" woods, partially shaded meadows, and along stream banks from Quebec to Florida and west to Texas and the Rockies. Also called Wild Blue Phlox and Wild Sweet William. Plant with woodland wildflowers such as Trillium, Columbine, or Bloodroot, Hostas, Ferns, and more! Winner of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit in 1993.

So cute!
"I love these woodland phlox! They do well on the edge of a shady border. Unfortunately my area is a bit too shady and they're a little sparse, but one of my trees is gonna be removed and it should improve! The colors are so pretty and the foliage gives a different texture to your garden as well. Two thumbs up! #sweepstakes"
Lovely ground cover!
"Plants arrived very health and blossomed shortly after planting. Wonderful addition for my pollinators. I can't wait for this to spread more over the years!"
It took awhile, but I'm now in love
"So this one took quite awhile to look like much - I thought for awhile that the site was a bad one, but now, after a couple years of it looking rather meh, it suddenly looks SO good. I have it planted next to a pale bluish creeping phlox and under a kind of small, weeping dark purplish pink lilac, and now that it's filled out more, the color combination has become fantastic. I have every intention of getting at least one more now, (of course, now that it's looking so awesome, it's out of stock - but next time it's available, I'm totally getting it. ) So I do recommend it - you just might need to be a bit patient."
Have bought these more than once!
"This is a lovely, tough plant for me in semi-shade (Zone 7a, Shenandoah Valley). I have had one for maybe 6 years, couldn't find more for several years. I finally did, and bought more. They've done just as well as the first. Beautiful lavender that leans just a little bit to the blue side. I'm crazy about it."
So happy with my Chattahoochees!
"I've had one Chattahoochee in a 3 liquid gallon bucket for several years and loved it. I bought it in flower locally, but haven't been able to find more. It's a beautiful, low maintenance plant. The two new ones I bought from American Meadows this spring have settled in and are blooming beautifully . I'm just delighted!"
