Dianthus

Vibrant flowers are delicately fringed and often have contrasting centers or patterns. Strong stems make this an ideal cut flower, or allow to run wild in the cottage or herb garden among hardy geranium and baby's breath. Short-lived; may reseed. Prefers average to alkaline (sweet), well-drained soil.
