Fringed pink is a charming, fragrant perennial carnation that produces deeply fringed lavender to pink flowers beloved by pollinators including butterflies and moths. Plant it in a sunny to partly shaded spot with well-drained soil, and water regularly without letting roots sit in wet conditions. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering throughout summer, and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
