  The mid green, linear leaves form a low mat of foliage from which slender stems grow first outwards and then upwards, bearing one or two scented flowers. The pink or purple petals have deeply dissected edges which give them a spidery quality. It is one of the taller Dianthus, which will thrive in dry soils in full sun.
  
  Garden care: Deadheading as soon as the flowers have faded will help encourage more to come.
