It is true that phenotype of the herozygote is intermediate for incomplete dominance.
Incomplete dominance can create offspring that display a trait not identical to either parent but intermediate to the two. One example of incomplete dominance is a red flower and a white flower crossbreed to form a pink flower.
This is called codominance in this case, neither allele is dominant over another, it creates in heterozyogous individuals a phenotype that is not in intermediate, nor the phenotype either of the two alleles create, but rather, a different phenotype.

incomplete dominance
Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance where one allele for a trait is not dominant over anther allele. Because of this, a combined or "mixed" phenotype results. For example, if a red flower is crossed with a white flower, and the offspring is pink, this is considered incomplete dominance.
Incomplete Dominance
When a heterozygous genotype (two different alleles) results in an intermediate phenotype, this is either codominance or incomplete dominance. If it is codominance, then both alleles are expressed together in the phenotype. If it is incomplete dominance, the two alleles produce a blended phenotype rather than both alleles being expressed together.

Codominance and incomplete dominance can only exist if the genotype has heterozygous alleles.

In complete dominance, only one allele in the genotype is seen in the phenotype. In codominance, both alleles in the genotype are seen in the phenotype. In incomplete dominance, a mixture of the alleles in the genotype is seen in the phenotype.
Incomplete dominance is where the phenotype of the heterozygote is intermediate to both the heterozygotes. The classic example of this phenomenon is pink snapdragons. If you cross red and white snapdragons, you get pink snapdragons, because neither the red or white allele is dominant to the other.
