Each of the 5 flower petals have serrated edges, looking as if they have been trimmed with pinking shears (or &#8216;Pynken&#8217;) that tailors use to serrate or zigzag the edges of fabric, hence the common name &#8216;Pinks&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>All Dianthus varieties prefer good drainage. Overwatering or clay soil is the kiss of death for them.
