Maiden Pink 'Arctic Fire', Lady's Cushion 'Arctic Fire', Meadow Pink 'Arctic Fire', Spink 'Arctic Fire'
Vigorous and free-flowering, Dianthus deltoides ‘Arctic Fire’ (Maiden Pink) is an evergreen perennial forming a spreading mat of narrow, dark green leaves. In late spring and summer, the foliage mound is covered by a profusion of small, white, single flowers adorned with delicately fringed petals and a brilliant red eye. Borne on branched flowering stems, the dainty blossoms attract bees and butterflies, but are ignored by deer. Easy to grow, Maiden Pink is excellent in rock gardens, as an edging or groundcover.
