About Rainbow Loveliness Cottage Pinks

This perennial forms a lovely mound of blue-green foliage, bursting with heavily fringed, edible blooms in late spring. Flowers present a rainbow of white, pink, lilac, and rose hues, often bicolored or with contrasting centers, emitting a sweet, jasmine-like scent that attracts butterflies. The mild clove-flavored petals are excellent for garnishing salads and desserts, although the central disk can be bitter. It's a wonderful addition to cottage gardens, cutting gardens, or perennial borders.
