Dianthus

This Dianthus plant was planted by Reegan in a backyard flower garden 
in SouthWest Calgary in the spring of 2018.  
In researching the dianthus plant it soon became clear that there are many species of this plant, all with similar characteristics, but unique as well.  The dianthus plant is more commonly known as Pinks or Sweet William and they are found as hardy annual, biennial or perennial. It has a fragrance of cinnamon or clove.  Modern varieties typically bloom from May to October.
