Vivid scarlet flowers with white centers, covering mounds of fine foliage; great for flower arrangements; reblooms; pair up with summer blooming perennials and annuals to time a continued flower display. Beauties® Kahori® Scarlet Pinks is smothered in stunning fragrant scarlet frilly flowers with white centers at the ends of the stems from early to late summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its attractive narrow leaves remain dark green in color throughout the year. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It is a good choice for attracting bees and butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. Will grow to be only 6 inches tall at maturity extending to 8 inches tall with the flowers, with a spread of 12 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 8 inches apart. Its foliage tends to remain low and dense right to the ground. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years. As an evegreen perennial, this plant will typically keep its form and foliage year-round.
