Flowers have the shape of 5-parted fringes, fragrant, pink-lilac, pink-purple or white. The common name of ' Fringed pinks' does not refer to the color, but to the fringing which looks like it was trimmed with pinking clippers. The petals of the Dianthus flowers are edible if they had been grown organically.  Used for decorating cakes with sugar crystallization. However, the leaves can cause mild stomach distress if eaten.
