Maiden Pink 100 Seeds Dianthus deltoides

Dianthus deltoides, commonly known as maiden pink, is a low-growing perennial herb native to Europe and western Asia, admired for its dense mats of fine foliage and charming, brightly colored flowers. The plant typically reaches 10 to 25 centimeters in height and forms spreading clumps of narrow, grass-like leaves that provide year-round texture in garden settings. Its small, five-petaled blooms—usually pink, magenta, or occasionally white—feature delicate fringed edges and darker markings near the center, appearing from late spring through summer. Dianthus deltoides thrives in full sun and well-drained, slightly alkaline soils, making it ideal for rock gardens, borders, and ground cover. It is drought-tolerant once established and attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, adding both beauty and ecological value to ornamental landscapes.
