Phlox subulata Blue Eyes. The best clear blue Mountain Pink. It is a somewhat rampant 
and fast grower, but the profusion of clear pale blue flowers in early April make 
up for it. It is a good plant that is still rather new and scarce. Give it the same 
treatment as Alexander’s Pink. Schack, 3uOce niece aetoueh oc.
