Etymology

The word 'Dianthus' originates from the Ancient Greek words 'Dios' meaning 'divine' and 'anthos' meaning 'flower'. This reflects the beauty and elegance associated with these flowers throughout history. The genus was first described by the botanist Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century, who is famous for formalizing the system of naming organisms known as binomial nomenclature. Since then, Dianthus has become a popular choice among gardeners and florists alike, signifying love and admiration in various cultures. The rich heritage of Dianthus cultivation spans across Europe and Asia, making it a symbol of beauty and endurance.
