Dianthus simulans


Cushion Alpine Pinks

USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.180.280


This is one of the most compact types of hardy Pinks available. It forms a cushion or bun of tiny needle-like olive-green leaves, bearing small pink flowers in early summer that rest just above the mound. An unusual specimen plant for the rock garden, alpine scree or trough garden. Must have good drainage, dislikes heavy or soggy soils. Evergreen. Quite possibly hardy into Zone 2 or colder. Best increased by cuttings rather than by division. Slow growing but an utter gem.
