Dianthus Multipunctatus Var. Axilliflorus

Dianthus multipunctatus var. axilliflorus is a unique and lesser-known species of flowering plant native to specific regions of southern Europe. This variety is distinguished by its compact growth habit and clusters of delicate, pinkish-red flowers that bloom in late spring. Its leaves are narrow and slightly hairy, contributing to its rugged appearance. The plant thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, making it a hardy choice for rock gardens and alpine settings. Despite its beauty, it remains relatively obscure in horticultural circles, offering a rare opportunity for gardeners to cultivate a distinctive and resilient plant.
