Ideal for planting in partial shade or under trees, Phlox divaricata is a perfect choice for areas where other plants may struggle. Whether placed along garden borders or nestled in the shade of taller plants, it provides consistent color and texture. With its minimal care requirements and beauty, this perennial is a wonderful choice for adding grace and charm to your landscape.
