Phlox divaricata 'Blue Ribbons' PP34928
An evergreen Woodland Phlox variety with variegated foliage? Yes, please! Phlox divaricata ‘Blue Ribbons’ is a new evergreen phlox selection featuring multi-colored foliage that remains attractive throughout multiple seasons with its interspersed palette of emerald and light greens, creamy ivory, and the occasional twinge of pinkish-red margins and speckles, which become especially noticeable in the cooler seasons. During mid-spring from April to the end of May, lilac-blue, delicately scented phlox flowers create a dense cloud of icy purple color above the painterly foliage. ‘Blue Ribbons’ Woodland Phlox is capable of handling partial to full shade conditions, and over time, the foliage forms a dense and dynamically-colored groundcover that can effectively smother weeds if left to its own devices. When used in a container garden or planted along the edge of a border, its unconventional appearance is sure to attract the attention of curious plant novices and seasoned horticulturists alike.
