Neutral poppysue On Mar 12, 2002, poppysue from Westbrook, ME (Zone 5a) wrote:

Sand pinks form a dense clump of slender grassy green foliage. In mid summer it produces fragrant, 1-inch white flowers with deeply fringed petals. Plants prefer a sandy well-drained soil in full sun but will tolerate afternoon shade.
