Dianthus ‘Blue Hills’


Cheddar Pinks

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.180.380


Cheddar Pinks have been popular in gardens for centuries. This selection forms a low cushion of grassy steel-blue foliage. The sweetly-scented single flowers are deep rose-pink, appearing in early summer. Excellent addition to the sunny rock garden, alpine trough or for edging. Plants should be trimmed lightly after blooming to maintain a tight, compact mound. Not always easy to divide, but this can be attempted in spring or early fall. Evergreen.
