Ornamental plant.
China pinks are biennials or short-lived perennials which are primarily grown as annuals as they do not perform well in hot and humid summers. They grow best in average well-drained soils with dry to medium moisture, in full sun but with afternoon shade in warmer climates. This pink has an abundance of flowers that are flat, heavily fringed, and with a darker central eye. They should be deadheaded and trimmed after periods of heavy bloom to encourage additional flowering.
Cultivated in UAE as ornamental plant and in parks.
