The Wild Blue Phlox is a native, perennial wildflower with lavender or pink, two to three-inch wide flowers that sit on top of stems that are eight to 18 inches tall. Its blue to violet flowers are up to an inch across and notched. The one to two-inch toothless, lance-shaped leaves on the lower stems are broader than those on flowering stems. It likes moist, rich, deciduous woodlands and bluffs in part to full shade. (LS)
