Cute little flower with a small "footprint." I help it selfseed around my garden and welcome its little flowers wherever they poke up. It won't crowd out my other plants like some self-seeders would!
Has deep green, downy, linear to lance shaped leaves. Bears single, unscented, rosy pink flowers which often have darker pink spotting and toothed petals.

Loves well-drained, fertile, light soil in full sun. This one will tolerate a wide Ph range and can be found growing in the wild in acid as well as alkaline soils.
