Old timey Clove Pinks love sun and good drainage. They are perfect for a rock garden or a sunny bank. The silvery green foliage forms low, spreading, evergreen mats and their Carnation-like flowers are strongly and sweetly scented. 'Firewitch' has 1 inch brilliiant raspberry red flowers which cover 6 inch mounds of silvery needle-shaped leaves in late spring, early summer, and then sporadically throughout the summer. If you want tons of color and fragrance, this one is for you. This is the Perennial Plant Association's Plant of the Year for 2006. Cat# 1260
