Common name: Maiden Pink

Latin name: Dianthus deltoides

Description: With its bright pink flowers, Maiden pink is often considered one of the UK's most attractive wildflower species. A low-growing, mat-forming plant, it likes dry conditions with little competition, and grows on stony ground and sloping hillsides in the wild.

Height: 10-30cm

Flowering time: June to September

Colour: Deep or pale pink

Management: Maiden pink prefers open, dry, neutral soils, though it can cope with slightly alkaline soil. They do best in full sunlight. Regular dead-heading will extend and intensify the flowering season.
