Dianthus (Pinks)
These tough little plants, sometimes called Pinks or Sweet William, have a spicy fragrance and little flowers that look like small versions of their fancier cousin, the carnation. Growing 1 to 2 feet tall atop light green or gray-green foliage, Dianthus tolerates dry conditions well and doesn't mind poor soil.
