This beautiful, wild carnation is on the Red List of endangered species, so a helping hand certainly won't hurt! The stubborn, bright pink flowers (sometimes with white speckles) bloom in clusters and add a striking touch to your border. The plant grows to 30-50 cm tall, and both the stems and leaves are slightly hairy. They bloom in summer and are often visited by butterflies!
