As for the spacing, this will depend on the habit and the spread of the variety in question. Staking These three garden favourites are D. caryophyllus commonly known as Carnations, D. plumarius, colloquially called Garden Pinks, and D. barbatus, usually termed Sweet Williams. D. chinensisExamples include pink ‘Pinball Wizard,’ pink ‘Rhian’s Choice’ and sweet William ‘Auricula-Eyed Mixed’. Plant Care & Growing Tips Though D. plumarius, garden pink, is native to Central Europe, it has colonised several regions of the United States where it is classified as an invasive species. Pinks, the smaller, hardier relatives of the carna­tion, are more popular as garden plants, and, unlike most carnations, which must be grown under glass, are easy to grow outside in the British climate. They also flower earlier, in May and June. Although pinks were well known and loved from the Middle Ages, they seem to have been dis­missed by some as a more 'common' flower than the carnation, and for many years only a handful of improved forms appeared. It wasn't until the eighteenth century that they were accepted into the inner circle of the florists' societies, and only then because of the appearance of chance seed­lings showing decorative edging in contrasting colours. Plantsmen seized on this characteristic, and before long, new varieties of what became known as 'laced' pinks were appearing. Although both the garden pink ( derived from Dianthus plumarius) and the carnation (from D. caryophyllus) were grown from medieval times, it was the carnation, or the gillyflower as it was known, that attracted the most attention initially because of the natural hybrids it produced. Striped, bi-coloured and double flowers appealed to the Elizabethan fascination with all things bizarre, and, along with the tulip, the carnation became one of the first flowers adopted by the elite florists' societies of the seventeenth century. Around this time, the dianthus flower burgeoned in another form of art: embroidery. As is evident in so many Elizabethan and Jacobean portraits, clothing was lavishly embellished with embroidered flowers, and the carnation appeared repeatedly as a stylised motif, often edged with silver or gold thread. One area particularly noted as a melting pot for new varieties of laced pinks was Paisley, near Glasgow, where local weavers formed a large and thriving florists' society. Today, the term 'Paisley pink' is still used to describe a particular shade of pink, which brings us to the question of why pinks are called pinks, when they range in colour from white to red. Interestingly, the modern use of the word as a colour only came into general circula­tion in the middle of the nineteenth century, while the first written description of the flower as a 'pinke' was in 1573; one can assume that the flower name came first, and that the colour was named after the flower. Originally, the definition of the colour embraced a wider spectrum than today, including red. There are various potential derivatives of the original flower name, the most likely being from the Middle English word 'pie' or 'pikke', meaning to pierce, which in turn led to the verb 'to pink' - as in pinking sheers - and relating to the deeply serrated or ragged petal edges of the wild Dianthus plumarius. Cultivars and cultivation

Pinks are named as such because their petals look as if they were cut by a tailor’s decorative pinking scissors which leaves a zig-zag edge. Habitat & Growing Conditions D. plumarius Perpetual flowering carnations are not hardy being suitable only to H2, which is why they are grown in greenhouses.

Yet between carnations, sweet williams, and garden pinks, it is the last-named that runs away with the popularity prize – garden pinks are British gardeners’ favourite Dianthus. These plants are also typed by the size of their bloom and by whether there is a single flower or a spray. Associated with wealth, the carnation was fast becoming the flower of the aristocracy. Fashionable among the nobility, new varieties were named after royalty, including Charles II and his consort, Catherine of Braganza, whose bed was hung with satin curtains embroidered with entwined scarlet carna­tions to symbolise their marriage. The passion for the carnation resulted in many new varieties; by the end of the seventeenth century more than 350 could be named, the likes of which were immortalised in almost every still life of flowers painted by the Dutch masters. In the eighteenth century, botanical painters such as Ehret, Redoute and Bauer made detailed studies of the flowers, giving us a clear idea of what was fashionable at the time.The heights, habits, blooms, and colours of Dianthus varieties make these evergreens excellent choices for all purposes from edging a walkway to the middle rows in a mixed bed.

Sometimes, you may find they start to root in the water, so I would then trim off the flower and pot it up to grow on.” Common Problems All carnations have double or semi-double flowers and most garden pinks are double while a few are single. They are also subject to viral infections which cause carnation mottle, carnation etched ring, carnation ring spot and other diseases. The somewhat more technical art of layering is usually used with carnations while softwood cuttings work well with both carnations and garden pinks. References
