Dianthus superbus var. longicalycinus,
a perennial, inhabits sunny river beaches or grasslands, forming
tufts. Stems stand 30-80cm tall, branching at the upper parts and
sparsely bearing some light reddish-purple, 4cm in diameter, flowers
on shoot apexes from July to October. The petals tear like threads,
a characteristic of this species. Additionally, the bract number in
this variety ranges from 3 to 4 pairs, which provides a
distinguishing feature from
D. superbus var. rupifragus.
Bloom time: July-October. |
