Dianthus caryophyllus (Clove Pink) is a species of
Dianthus. It is probably native to the
Mediterranean region but its exact range is unknown due to extensive cultivation for the last 2,000 years. It is the wild ancestor of the garden Carnation.It is a
herbaceous perennial plant growing to 80 cm tall. The
leaves are glaucous greyish green to blue-green, slender, up to 15 cm long. The
flowers are produced singly or up to five together in a
cyme; they are 3–5 cm diameter, and sweetly scented; the original natural flower colour is bright pinkish-purple, but
cultivars of other colours, including red, white, yellow and green, have been developed.
