This exceptionally elegant flower often forms large patches in the woods. The flowers are commonly light blue—thus another common name, Blue Phlox. There are white, lavender, and pink plants as well, however. Most of these plants came from a big patch in Bird Park, Mt. Lebanon; some came from an equally big patch along the Trillium Trail in Fox Chapel.
For a description of the species, see the Phlox divaricata reference page.
