Dianthus myrtinervius, the Albanian pink, is a species of pink native to Albania, Greece, and the former Yugoslavia.[2] Preferring well-drained neutral to alkaline soils, it can be grown in rock gardens, raised beds, or as a border along gravel paths. Petite perennials, they are available from commercial suppliers.[3]
