Cheddar pinks has small, linear, grayish-green leaves. It forms nice dense mounds and grows only to a foot or so. It is wonderful in the foreground of a perennial border or rock garden. One-inch diameter flowers are borne either as singles or doubles. If you pinch back after flowering, the plant will continue to bloom. This is an easy plant to grow, and no sunny garden should be without it. Lovely pink flowers, each petal with scalloped edging, cover this sun-loving perennial in spring.
