Vegetative characteristics

The rough carnation grows as a biennial herbaceous plant and reaches heights of 30 to 60 centimeters. In the first year of its development, it forms a rosette of foliage leaves, from which the dense, short-haired flower sprout, richly branched above, rises in the following year. The stem and the leaves are coarsely hairy.

The constantly against arranged on the stem leaves are narrow lanceolate.

Generative characteristics

The main flowering time is from June to July, but occasionally it also extends into August. Two to ten flowers are in short-stalked, terminal clusters. The hermaphrodite flowers are up to 1 centimeter in diameter and are radially symmetrical and five-fold. The purple-colored petals are provided with white dots.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 30.

Diseases

The rough carnation is attacked by the rust fungi Puccinia arenariae with Telien and Uromyces dianthi with Uredien and Telien.

Occurrence

The distribution area of Dianthus armeria includes central and southern Europe to the Caucasus and southern Sweden , especially the low mountain ranges . At altitudes over 1000 meters, however, it can only be found sporadically. As a location, forest fringes, dry bushes and grasslands, as well as more or less fresh, mostly low-lime and loamy soils are preferred. In Central Europe, it occurs primarily in fringe societies of the Pruno-Rubion association, for example in the Sarothamnetum, but also in societies of the Trifolion medii, Mesobromion erecti or the Sedo-Scleranthetea class.

In Germany we find them scattered around the edges of forests and bushes and in semi- arid grasslands . Due to the increasing "clearing of the landscape" and the resulting disappearance of the corresponding locations, the populations of Dianthus armeria are in decline and this species is therefore regionally endangered.

Common names

For the Raue Nelke exist or existed also the other German-language trivial names : Deptford Nelke ( Silesia ) and Thiernägelein ( East Prussia ).
