Dianthus barbatus is commonly known as Sweet William. A prominent
feature of Sweet William is that the flowers are borne in a compact
ball-like head, carried on a stem.

Flowers of China Pinks (Dianthus chinensis) do not arise in such a
compact bunch. Also, leaves of Dianthus barbatus are much broader,
appearing to be elliptic/oval, whereas leaves of Dianthus chinensis
are narrow, appearing to be lanceshaped.

Hallo all,
Mani ji, when i saw the foto, i thought it would be bartnelke
(germanname), which is Dianthus barbatus. Well, i don't know the fine
differences between the Dianthus varieties. But experts have spoken.
Wiki says: The name Dianthus is from the Greek words dios ("god") and
anthos ("flower"), and was cited by the Greek botanist Theophrastus.
moreover specially for your son: Dianthus species are used as food plants
by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Cabbage Moth,
Double-striped Pug, Large Yellow Underwing and The Lychnis.
