Dianthus plumarius, or Common Pinks.
The most popular ornamental pinks—the maiden pink (D. deltoides) and especially varieties of the garden, or grass, pink (D. plumarius)—have escaped from cultivation and now grow wild in the United States.
Dianthus deltoides Often called the "maiden pink" because each stem carries only one flower, this is a vigorous, free-flowering plant through early summer.
