About Pinks, Hardy

Contrary to their common name, not all pinks are pink. The name refers to the jagged edges of the petals (as in pinking shears). Compact, mat-forming favorites for lining paths and beds in cottage gardens. Narrow blue-green leaves. The Latin name, Dianthus, means “divine flower.” Needs well-drained soil. See also pinks in Miniatures & Succulents.
