About Pinks
The Dianthus genus includes approximately 300 species and over 27,000 registered cultivar names. Several are cultivated as garden ornamentals, and most are suited to rock gardens. They are grown as annuals, biennials and evergreen perennials.
Flowers are 5-parted, fragrant, pink-lilac, pink-purple or white, often with picotee margins. The common name of 'pinks' does not refer to the color, but to the fringed or frilly edging which looks like it was trimmed with 'pinking shears'. Dianthus should be planted in full sun but can tolerate some shade. Well-drained soil and good air circulation are necessary to avoid root rot and fungal diseases. Dianthus will grow in different soil types, preferring neutral to slightly alkaline soil, but can tolerate some acidity.
