Dianthus means "divine blossom." Dianthus includes more than 300 distinct species in addition to countless exquisite hybrids.

Richly fragrant flowers are produced by dianthus plants from February to July.

Dianthus barbatus, another name for the dianthus plant, has a scent reminiscent of cinnamon or cloves.

The plants are tiny and typically grow to a height of 6 to 18 inches. Dianthus flowers typically have pink, salmon, red, and white coloring. On thick stems, the foliage is thin and sparsely dispersed. Dianthus, often known as carnations, pinks, or Sweet Williams, is a genus of annual, biennial, and perennial plants. Dianthus plants typically reach heights of 10 to 20 inches in garden; however, some species can reach heights of 2 inches to 3 feet.
