I do not think there are any really blue tall garden phlox. The bluest one I have is 'Blue Paradise'. But it is only "blue" early in the morning light then gets redder toned as the sun gets higher in the sky. The other thing with this one is it does not look like a happy healthy plant most years and this year with all the wet weather is positively miserable. The other one is more lavender than blue and is a very happy variety 'Franz Shubert'. I would be happy to send you seeds but I cannot guarantee that it will look like the parent because there are many colors all planted together and most seedlings do not reliably look like the parent plant. Here are some pics. First is BP.
