Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Chintz' is a champ, and produces some of the very largest phlox pips ever, at over 1.5 inches (4 cm) wide. It is a gentle pink, with a large softly defined rose-pink eye. Despite these large and distinct petals, the flowers hold up quite well in windy and rainy weather. This fine cultivar was selected by B.H.B. Symons-Jeune himself, the distinguished mid-20th century English phlox breeder, and it was introduced in 1956.
