Blue phlox 'Chattahoochee'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Chattahoochee is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures.

This hybrid generally does not produce creeping shoots that root, the way other low-growing phlox do, so it is difficult to divide. The best way to propagate this plant is by taking stem cuttings in spring or right after flowering finishes.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Chattahoochee is a hardy plant.

It was originally discovered in the Chattahoochee River valley that runs from Georgia to the region where Alabama and Florida converge.

‘Chattahoochee’ phlox is believed to be a natural hybrid of two native species: wild blue phlox (P. divaricata subsp. laphamii) and downy phlox (P. pilosa).
