In UK, one of the plants which is sometimes available is Phlox
divaricata 'Chattahoochee' which is a lovely plant but I have twice
lost it after a year or two. I gather it's short-lived and perhaps
needs to be kept going with assiduous taking of cuttings, which I
must try to do if I get hold of it again. Or perhaps it needs the
woodland conditions mentioned by Janis
I haven't seen the species Phlox divaricata here. How does it differ
from 'Chattahoochee'which is also powder blue - ish ?
