Dianthus grossheimii explained

Dianthus grossheimii, often called Grossheim's pink or Gvozdika Grossgejma,[1] is native to Turkey and Transcaucasus.[2] It is often found in mountain steppes and meadows.[3]

A perennial herb, D. grossheimii produces flowers with pink or purple petals that are dentate on the outer edges. These flowers are produced either singly or in a compact corymbiform inflorescence, with a calyx that's about 15-17mm long and a short pedicel.[4] The calyx features 8 epicalyx scales.[4] This plant may reach 20–30 cm across, and produces linear-lanceolate leaves (typically 3–3.5 cm long), a taproot, and pubescent stems.[5]
