Dianthus deltoides
Dianthus deltoides, commonly known as maiden pink, is a perennial flowering plant native to Europe and parts of Asia. It typically grows to a height of 6 to 12 inches and features narrow, gray-green leaves. The plant produces small, fragrant flowers that can be pink, red, or white, blooming from late spring to early summer.
This species thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade. Dianthus deltoides is often used in rock gardens, borders, and as ground cover due to its low-growing habit and attractive flowers. It is also known for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.
