About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Maiden Pink (Dianthus deltoides) is a low-growing herbaceous perennial that forms spreading mats of narrow green foliage. From late spring into summer, slender stems carry bright pink, fringed flowers that add color to compact garden spaces.
Grow it in full sun and well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Its spreading habit suits border fronts, cottage gardens, containers, rock gardens, and ground-cover plantings. Avoid persistently wet soil, which can damage the plant crown.
