@radiogirl@casablanca@bjywamer@robz@carole_sandford@wendyfrost@seattlite@corinnec@beryl@ljmanning Carnations, Sweet Williams and Pinks are ALL dianthus. These do look like sweet Williams. There are over 300 species and some are perennial, biennial or annual. Most are fragrant. If you like them and want them to be perennial, check the tag or ask your gardener. Most are perennial. Thanks for all your comments.
@bjywamer Yes they are.
