 Feed Sparingly
  • Common Name: Dianthus (Sweet William, Carnation, Pink, Pinks)
  • Latin Name: Dianthus spp.

The Dianthus is high in saponins and could cause gastrointestinal upsets,  but it can be given as a very small part of a varied diet.  You should ensure that other plants that contain saponins are not fed at the same time.
