The name is deceptive since Pinks are not always pink. There are many varieties of what we commonly call Pinks and all of them are great groundcover.
One of the nicest things about Pinks is that their foliage does not look weedy at all. It is clear, even when they are not blooming, that they are a plant. And quite pretty foliage it is.
Flower size and colour can vary but none of them become large, tall plants or have big flowers. There are pink, red and white blooming varieties. Foliage ranges from blue to dark green and most shades of green between. This makes them very versatile in every garden.
Some of them are spring blooming and slow spreading while others bloom all season long and spread faster with seeds that germinate easily in the garden. All of them are delightful!
