China Pink

in

A charming addition to rock gardens or garden's edge. Combine these lovely, mid-sized flowers with lamb's ear, creeping baby's breath, feverfew, roses and small grasses such as blue fescue for a delightful blend of color and texture. Strong stems are nice for cut flower arrangements. Remove faded flowers for rebloom.
