26.Dianthus

Sweet William, Pinks, and Carnations are some of the common names for Dianthus flowers. They're all blooming plants in the Caryophyllaceae family. What garden would be complete without the lovely, low mounds of Dianthus, which add a splash of color among the other foreground plants?

The delicate five-petaled blossoms are typically striking neon pink, coral, and other brilliant, gorgeous colors, and they stay tiny and short enough not to overshadow the plants around them.
