Germination Information: I recommend these seeds only for patient gardeners who are experienced with challenging perennial seeds. Sow the entire packet (seeds and vermiculite) as soon as it arrives, just covering the seeds with growing medium. Set the pot outdoors and keep it moist so the seeds can germinate when conditions are right (likely the following spring). Be aware that sprouting can be slow and irregular.

Note that this information will not be on the seed packet you receive.

Description

Native to eastern North America, wild blue phlox (Phlox divaricata) is a delightful sight in spring woodlands and equally lovely in a shade garden. It reaches about 1 foot tall in bloom, with lightly fragrant, five-petaled blooms usually in shades of blue to purple. For the rest of the year, it grows in a mat of rich green foliage that remains present in winter, making it useful as a groundcover. It is likely to self-sow if you don’t cut back the spent flowering stems to tidy the plants. I collected these seeds from plants I grew from a source that collected seeds in southeastern Pennsylvania. Also known as woodland phlox and wild sweet William, wild blue phlox thrives in partial shade and rich, somewhat moist soil. Perennial; Zones 3 to 8.

Collected in early to mid June 2023. At least 15 seeds, packet with moist vermiculite. PA ecotype. Shipping to US addresses only.
