Not offhand, checked RHS Dictionary and Hortus III - no listing

You might check with Rand B.Lee, President of the American Dianthus Society.
I don't have his email address on file but he is a member of the Alpine-L
group and Dianthus come up fairly frequently over there.

Just for the record, the Alpine-L mailing list is perhaps the best pure
plant list on the internet today. Moderated, intelligent conversation with a
whos who of plant resource people world wide, it is an excellent list for
specialist nursery people. 
address:  LISTSERV@NIC.SURFNET.NL  subscribe Alpine-L in body of text.  It
has spawned Trillium-L for woodland plants (same address).
