Pinks, dianthus species

cheddar pinkCheddar pink, Dianthus gratianopolitanus

Not edible for us according to Plants for a future online database, however, some plant nurseries are listing all dianthus flowers as edible.

It can be used as a ground cover plant in a sunny position. Plants should be placed about 25 cm apart each way and form a slowly spreading carpet of growth.

The flowers are strongly clove-scented and are very attractive to butterflies and moths.

maiden pinkMaiden pink, Dianthus deltoides

Probably edible flowers, as above.

This splendid, evergreen, soil hugging, perennial ground cover becomes surmounted by thousands of shirt button sized crimson scarlet flowers during Summer that in the early morning dew or after a shower of rain sparkle like red diamonds. Quite exceptional.

The flowers are strongly clove-scented and are very attractive to butterflies and moths.
