Nursery contributed plant descriptions

With very large florets of soft rosy- salmon pink, with a large white eye, this is one of the most admired of phlox at the nursery. The flower heads or 'trusses' are flattish and broad, at 7" wide, and the upper stems and bud bracts are dark with pigment. Our first plant came unidentified from an old garden nearby, some 25 years ago, and over the years since then I have come to believe that it must be old 'Salmon Beauty', dating from the years before 1945.
