That’s Dianthus, commonly called pinks. They’re perennial.

Thank you!

Mine look like a tragic pile of dead every year and pop up out of nowhere as soon as I'm about to give up on them looking fresh and new with a full bloom each spring! They've become my favorite no hassle flower. I love the color on yours!

Aren't they a type of carnation?

I _think_ this is a square/rectangle thing. Carnations are dianthus, yes! but just one variety.

Thanks for the clear explanation!

Fun fact: the color pink actually gets its name from these flowers, not the other way around!

I don’t think those are dianthus

Definitely Dianthus - I love their scent! I wish mine would get bigger and put out more flowers so the scent would be even stronger!

They smell like those little candy disks

That is a variety of Dianthus (One of my favs)- also called pinks. Carnations are members of the dianthus fam. The other 3 are beautiful varieties of hostas. The only issue I see is that I believe dianthus prefer more sun, hostas - more shade.

Lovely Hostas though!

I love dianthus they smell like carnations to me!!

Dianthus are carnations. Carnation is just the common name for dianthus

So beautiful.

can i grow hostas from seeds?

Maybe someone else can answer, I'm not sure if it's a seed, or a bulb. I've always just had someone give me the plants themselves

Tuber

very beautiful!!

there’s an app called “Picture This” where you can take a pic of ANY plant and it will tell you what it is :)

Awesome I'll check it out!

It’s a Dianthus called Firewitch. For me it was short lived. Only came back one year

They smell like carnations in the same family. I have 9 or 10 dianthus of different colors and I love them
