Phlox divaricata
WILD BLUE PHLOX
SKU: 46-010
This outstanding phlox gently grows to form large clumps that become covered in masses of brilliant blue flowers! Plants do best in part shade or shade, and become a permanent perennial focal point in the garden. Does well planted below trees.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 12", 30cm
Location: Shade or part sun
Hardiness zones: 4-9
Seeds per packet: 10
Germination: Start indoors. Sow the seeds just under the surface and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 80 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
