Dianthus armeria - Deptford Pink, Mountain Pink. Some authorities consider this plant, a European native, to be weedy or invasive. This is supported by the fact that this introduced species is now found in the wild in all but three states (not known in Arizona, Alaska, or North Dakota) as well as much of Canada. Deptford is a town in the south of England where the plant grew in such abundance that it became the source of the common name. | Similar to Maiden Pink. The Mountain Pink common name is more commonly used for the species Centaurium beyrichii.
