Dianthus chinensis bears flat flowers with fringed petal margins above narrow foliage.
Botanical characteristics
Although biennial or short-lived perennial, it is commonly treated as an annual. Well-drained soil limits crown-rot risk; hot, humid summers can reduce persistence. Garden selections differ in flower form and habit, rather than representing separate botanical species.
Compact and double-flower labels
Black & White Minstrels, Double Flowered Mixed Dwarf and Persian Carpet Dwarf give seed retailers named choices. Dwarf and double-flower labels describe different aspects of the assortment.
The double flowered mixed selection is offered with double flowers.
