Clove pinks have been prized for centuries for their sweet-spicy scent and pretty little pink flowers. Did you know we get the word for the colour pink from the plant? It refers to the zigzag edges of the petals. Waithman Beauty has rich dark magenta-maroon petals marked with pale pink-white, very striking.
