Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the oldest phlox varieties we have found, 'Leopoldii' was available in 1883! Gently tinted flowers of warm pink, each with a tiny cream eye, bloom in clusters on gracefully draping stems. Sweetly scented with a hint of new-mown hay, this variety has larger flowers than most and blooms for months.
