Dianthus ‘Royal Midget’


Cheddar Pinks

 USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.180.290


Cousins to the carnation, Cheddar Pinks have been grown in gardens for centuries. This very low selection is a good choice for the rock garden. Plants form a low, cushion of blue-green leaves, bearing masses of small, fragrant semi-double deep-pink flowers in late spring. Drought tolerant once established. Clip lightly after blooming. Not always easy to divide, but this can be attempted in early spring or fall. Flowers may be attractive to butterflies. Evergreen.
