Dianthus ‘Spotty’
Cheddar Pinks |
USDA Zone: 2-9 |
Plant number: 1.180.400
Cheddar Pinks have been popular in gardens for centuries. This selection forms a low cushion of grassy blue-green foliage. The sweetly-scented single flowers are deep cherry-red, with contrasting white spots. 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.
