Maiden pink
Dianthus deltoides
Maiden pink is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial that produces a profusion of bright pink flowers with fringed petals throughout early summer. It thrives in well-drained, slightly alkaline soils in full sun to partial shade and is excellent for rock gardens, border edging, or ground cover. Trim lightly after flowering to encourage a second flush of blooms and maintain a tidy habit.
