Dianthus chinensis
IN-STOCK ORDERS SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY VIA THE US POST OFFICE.
Greek botanist Theophrastus gave these flowers the genus name Dianthus, which means "divine flower." The common name of "pink" comes from the Old English word "pynken," meaning to cut or notch, in reference to the distinctive jagged edges of the petals. Actually, this family of flowers brought about the use of the word "pink" to describe a color. Thomas Jefferson once grew these lovely flowers at his Monticello estate, having received seed from Philadelphia resident and gardener Bernard McMahon in 1807.Starting at $2.50 USD -

This European native is closely related to the old fashioned garden plant Sweet William. Ironically, it has no history in Deptford, a suburb in the East End of London. Its common name, Deptford Pink, was the result of a misidentification by botanist Thomas Johnson, who found and described the similar Maiden Pink in Deptford in 1633. This wildflower has been rapidly decreasing in Britain, now classified as vulnerable and protected in its natural habitat; however, it thrives throughout the rest of Europe and North America.Starting at $2.98 USD -

Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus) belongs to the Dianthus flower family, which also includes pinks and carnations. Greek botanist Theophrastus gave these flowers the genus name Dianthus, which means "divine flower." The origin of the common name Sweet William has been debated, though one interesting theory states that the "William" comes from a mispronunciation of the French word for the flower, "oiellet." The name has also been said to honor either William Shakespeare, the Duke of York, the Duke of Cumberland, or William the Conqueror. Their sweetness comes from the distinctive clove-like scent of the blossoms; in the language of flowers, this flower symbolizes gallantry.Starting at $2.50 USD
