\nThis one is an English linguistic gem!
\n
\nFor the word 'pink' as we known it today - describing a soft red, a pastel red, a mix of red and white (whichever you prefer) - may have actually referred to the classic Dianthus plumarius flower first, and was only after used to designate the color. The origin of the word 'pink' is uncertain, but this theory is my personal favorite because it means that plants define the world around us.
\n
\nAnd that is good.
\n
\nThis variety comes from a hybridization of Dianthus plumarius and Dianthus caryophyllus.
\n
\nDianthus plumarius is a European perennial, known as the principal ancestor of many varieties of carnation, both old and new.
\n
\nDianthus caryophyllus is a Mediterranean perennial, remarkable for its distinctive sweet fragrance, reminiscent of cloves I'd say.
\n
\nThis makes Dianthus plumarius Haytor White resilient, drought tolerant, fragrant and magnificent. What more can one ask for?
\n
\nIt is known to be somewhat invasive in many states in the United States - so do NOT travel state-side with your Dianthus plumarius Haytor White!

\n
\nDianthus plumarius Haytor White is a classic evergreen perennial with grey-green foliage and frilly, fragrant white flowers.
\n
\n
\n \nIts flowers are instantly recognizable - bearing ten white petals with fringed edges. \n \nThe leaves are grey-green, simple and silky soft, forming a dense groundcover. \n \n
\n \nDianthus plumarius Haytor White can live in many parts of the garden - in light shade, in the sun, in dry or fresh soil. \n \nBut it does flourish especially in places where others cannot - high sun, dry soil. \n \nOur plants have been grown outside so they are well adapted to the temperate climate and can live outside without any problem. \n \n
