Maiden Pinks are easy-care perennials, ideal for the beginning gardener. Plants form a low, spreading mound of green and bronze leaves, studded with bright assorted pinks to ruby-red flowers in late spring, and bloom on and off throughout the summer. Suitable in poor soils, and hot, sunny sites.
Excellent in tubs and mixed containers.
Trim back lightly after first flowering. Plants are easily divided in early spring or fall.
