Discussion
Dianthus carthusianorum is an extremely variable species; at least 12 subspecies and 35 varieties have been described. A comprehensive study is warranted to determine how many of those taxa should be recognized or whether, as proposed by T. G. Tutin and S. M. Walters (1993), the variation in many of these characters is indeed continuous.
The New Hampshire collections of Dianthus carthusianorum were made between 1914 and 1926 in Coos County (R. K. Rabeler and R. E. Gereau 1984); all other observations and collections are post-1975. Dianthus carthusianorum is sometimes cultivated and may escape.
