The Maiden pink ( Dianthus deltoides) belongs to Caryophyllaceae (the Carnation family). It is a perennial herb that is widely distributed in Europe. It grows in dry, sandy meadows and is 20-40 cm tall. The leaves are narrowly oblanceolate, and the cauline leaves are needle-shaped. Flower stalks grow from early summer to fall, and purple flowers bloom. It has been improved since early times, and many garden varieties are available, making it a popular flower in Europe and the United States.
