Species of flowering plant From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dianthus sylvestris, also known as wood pink, is a species of Dianthus found in Europe, particularly in the Alps, and also said to be disjunctly found in the mountains of Greece.[2] A perennial, it prefers to grow in drier, stony places, so it is occasionally planted in rock gardens.[3]
