Descriptionedit
The petals of Dianthus mooiensis are small and deeply fimbriate (frilly)
Dianthus mooiensis is a spreading or tufted herbaceousperennial. The stems are leafy and semi-erect to upright. The leaves along the stem are rigid, and usually 2.5 to 3 cm long (max 6 cm).
The flowers are small and usually white. The petals are deeply fimbriate (frilly) and exserted by only 5 mm (ie. 5 mm long). The claw is not exserted though (unlike that of D. zeyheri).
The calyx is 1.5 to 1.75 cm in length, with several bract-pairs at the base. [4]
