About Firewitch
Clove-scented magenta flowers, spring through fall. The petals are sweet and tasty in a salad once the white base of each petal is pinched off. Do not eat the leaves or let your pets eat them. Heat-resistant and cold-tolerant. Also known as Cheddar pinks. *****
The Latin name, Dianthus, means “divine flower.”
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. Needs well-drained soil. See also pinks in Miniatures & Succulents.
