Phlox divaricata 'May Breeze,' also known as Woodland Phlox, is a semi-evergreen herbaceous perennial that produces a showy mat of full-petaled pure-white blooms in mid- to late spring. It is noted for its compact growth, fragrance, and white flowers. Five flat petals adorn each fragrant saucer-shaped blossom. As they get older, they occasionally develop a faint lavender blush. They are born in loose clusters at the tips of hairy, sticky stalks and ascend briskly above the deep green, lance-shaped foliage. a variety that grows rather quickly and produces an abundance of flowers.
