  1. #Dianthus is a key #herb used in #Chinese #TraditionalMedicine aka #TCM to treat #urinary difficulties. In #Western #HerbalMedicine, the entire plant is used as a bitter tonic herb that stimulates urinary system & #digestive systems. #DianthusChinensis is classified as #antibacterial, #diuretic, #emmenagogue & #febrifuge.

    Only the flower petals are edible to humans but not for your pets. You can sugar flowers into candy. Or add petals to salads.

  2. Dianthus is surprisingly hardy. But I probably should bring it inside for the dreadfully forecasted -24°C night, right?

  3. November 18th and we still have three or four plants on the back deck producing flowers. Not a lot of flowers, and none big, but there they are: still looking for a hot time with bugs that just aren't showing up.

    Here, the pinks, Dianthus, the brightest of the lot.
