They all have Dianthus in their names. We can know that they are all Dianthus. Because they belong to the same genus, they have some similar characteristics and properties. The first two pictures are the first kind of plants, and the last two pictures are the second. If you look at them, you will find that they are indeed similar and not very distinguishable. However, they are different. So, what are the specific aspects?

Different morphological characteristics

First, there are subtle differences in the height of plants. The height of the former is about 30cm, while that of the latter is slightly higher, between 30cm and 40cm. Second, they have different flowers. The first kind of plants are usually red, pink or white, and other colors are rare. However, the second kind of plants has more styles, not only the solid color of red and white powder, but also the mixed color. There are also differences in the fragrance of flowers. In contrast, the first kind of plant has a stronger fragrance, while the second kind has a slight fragrance, which is not easy to detect. Their florescence is also a little different. The former is from May to October, while the latter is from April to October.

Different distribution areas

The first plant is mainly distributed in some evergreen broad-leaved or deciduous broad-leaved forest areas of the Yangtze River region, and the main cities are Nanjing, Hefei, Changsha, etc. In addition to the Yangtze River, there are also Northeast China, North China and even Southeast Asia.

Different nicknames

The first one is also called "ground cover carnation", and the second one is more famous cities, such as "whisker carnation", "ten brocades", "American carnation" and so on.

Dianthus plumarius

Different habits

This is mainly about the difference in temperature that is conducive to their germination. The suitable temperature of the first plant seed is about 15-20 ℃, which will be inhibited if the temperature is higher. The latter's seed is easy to sprout when the temperature is 212c, and its requirements are more stringent.
