Phlox divaricata 'May Breeze' - 2026

Phlox divaricata ‘May Breeze’ is a charming perennial valued for its clusters of soft blue flowers with a subtle fragrance that bloom from late spring into early summer. The delicate, star-shaped blooms rise above fresh green foliage, bringing gentle colour and texture to shaded borders, woodland gardens, or naturalistic planting schemes. Its flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, offering both ornamental appeal and ecological value.

Thriving in fertile, well-drained soil, this hardy perennial prefers partial shade to full shade and forms low-maintenance clumps that return reliably each year. Cutting back spent flowers helps maintain a tidy appearance and can encourage further blooms. Phlox divaricata ‘May Breeze’ combines seasonal colour, wildlife support, and ease of care, making it a versatile and rewarding choice for UK gardens.
