    Hi all.

    New to gardening and bought some of these in Homebase labelled as mixed colour carnations - i'm fairly certain they are not :spinning:

    Any ideas?

      It is a Dianthus, otherwise known as a Pink ... sort of mini Carnation. :smile: Sweet William also is in this family.

          Good evening @David Kearley It would be better if you could start a new thread for each ID question as you can see I have put a prefix of Solved on this one but I will for now remove the prefix otherwise all our friends will miss this thread Thankyou:smile:
