Dianthus neglectus

D. neglectus. One of the most beautiful wild Pinks in cultivation. It is referred to D. glacialis by some authorities, and is made a variety of it by Williams in his monograph. It is, however, much taller, the stems six inches high, with tufts of narrower and more pointed leaves, which are more of a glaucous colour than those of the Glacier Pink ; the deep rose-coloured flowers are frequently borne two on each stem. A native of the high alpine regions of the Swiss and Italian Alps, and introduced in 1869. No rock-garden should be without this lovely Pink, and it succeeds well in an open place in stony soil or in a crevice.
