    Myself and my partner have been growing this gorgeous little plant in our garden and we have absolutely no idea what it is.

    We bought some seeds in a multiple pack from a cheap shop which actually said they were petunia and sweet pea. Obviously not!!!

    They are beautiful little plants and we have about 7 growing at the moment. There are different colours.

    I have asked many people who are keen gardeners and no one has a clue. Maybe someone could help?

    I have attached a photo which I took.

    Maybe a Dianthus of some sort? Dianthus come in a wide variety of colors and shapes including Carnations, Pinks and Sweet William. Whatever it turns out to be, it is a beautiful flower!
