Dianthus superbus seed
LATIN NAME: DIANTHUS SUPERBUS
COMMON NAME: Fringed Pink
The fringed pink is a graceful, fringed-flowered perennial of the meadows, and its large, rose-pink, deeply fringed flowers have made it one of the most delicate and charming of the pinks. It grows as a perennial herb, reaching up to half a metre or a little more, with slender, erect stems bearing narrow, grass-like, greyish-green leaves and, through the summer, large, fragrant, rose-pink, deeply fringed flowers, often in loose heads of a few, followed by small, dry capsules of the fine seeds. It is a species of the flowering plant in the pink family, native to Eurasia, while it grows in the meadows and the grassy slopes, and it is known as the fringed pink.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The fringed pink has a real and distinguished place in research. It has been studied in horticulture, since its large, rose-pink, deeply fringed flowers have made it a valued plant of the border and the rock garden, and the researchers have examined its growth, its flowering and its cultivars, while its delicate bloom has drawn attention in the international horticultural press as a plant of the border. The plant has also been studied in botany and ecology, since it is a native of the meadows of Eurasia, and its relationships, its distribution and its role in the meadow have been examined, while the ecology of the meadow plants of the region has been of continuing interest. The species has also been studied in the chemistry of natural products and the traditional use, since the aerial parts of the fringed pink have a long history of use in the folk ways of eastern Asia, and the researchers have examined the plant and its constituents, while the traditional uses of the plant have been of continuing interest, and the plant contains saponins and is best appreciated as a subject of study and a fine garden flower rather than a casual remedy. For a plant of such delicacy, the fringed pink has a rich and continuing record of study.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
To grow the Fringed Pink from seed, ecologically, the fringed pink is a generous plant of the garden. Its large, fragrant, rose-pink, deeply fringed flowers feed the bees and the butterflies, and its neat, leafy clumps give a fine, low presence to the border and the rock garden, while among the stones and the front of the border it holds its fringed flowers with a quiet delicacy, a small gem of the summer. Its economic value is real: the fringed pink is prized for its delicate, fringed bloom, and its charm has drawn attention in the international horticultural press as a plant of the border, while its aerial parts have also been valued in the traditional ways of eastern Asia. To raise the fringed pink, sow the fine seeds just under the surface of a pot of moist, free-draining compost, keep them lightly watered, and grow the little plants on in a sunny spot.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
Ecologically, the fringed pink is a generous plant of the garden. Its large, fragrant, rose-pink, deeply fringed flowers feed the bees and the butterflies, and its neat, leafy clumps give a fine, low presence to the border and the rock garden. Among the stones and the front of the border it holds its fringed flowers with a quiet delicacy, a small gem of the summer. It is a plant of quiet, dependable beauty.
Its economic value is real. The fringed pink is prized for its delicate, fringed bloom, and its charm has drawn attention in the international horticultural press as a plant of the border, while its aerial parts have also been valued in the traditional ways of the eastern Asia. For a grower, the fringed pink is an easy and rewarding plant, and for a gardener it brings a large, fringed, rose-pink bloom through the summer. The seeds are easy to start — sow them just below the surface of a pot of moist, free-draining compost, keep them lightly watered, and theyll be sprouting steadily, growing on into a neat, delicate, fringed-flowered plant.
The leaves are edible when young, and can be eaten when boiled. The flowers contain sweet nectar, and the foliage can be eaten or boiled to make a drink. The plant contains toxic saponins, but not enough to be harmful. It has historically been used in Chinese herbology as a contraceptive, diuretic, and anti-infective
