Are you thinking of planting some pink flowers this season? Pink flowers are a staple of just about every flower garden. It’s critical to have the right balance of color, and pink flowers can bring exactly that balance. In this massive guide, we examine more than 100 of our favorite pink flowers that you can plant in your garden this season.

From shocking magenta to soft cotton candy, pink is a shade that evokes a certain sense of fun, femininity, and playfulness that is unique to this side of the color spectrum. The sheer variety of pink flowers is seemingly limitless, so coming up with a monochromatic flower bed plan is surprisingly tricky for us gardeners with plant-related decision-making paralysis.

These soft pink roses add a touch of elegance to any home garden.

The beauty of A Shropshire Lad English Rose earned it the 2012 Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society. Once you see the vast, blushed rosettes, you’ll understand why! The peachy-colored petals are delicate in appearance, but hardy in nature, growing back year after year to their full potential.

Plant in the fall for large blooms by June. You can expect flowers from late spring through the first frost.

Abilene Early Large-Flowered Clematis

Clematis flowers bloom around July and August, someᴛι̇ɱes into September.

Scientific Name: Clematis ‘Abilene’ (Early Large-Flowered Group)

Delicately ruffled leaves and showy pink petals are a trademark of the Abilene Early Large-Flower Clematis. They reach around 4-feet in height, producing flowers throughout the late summer.

The blooms turn upwards towards the sun, showing off their charming yellow anthers as they climb. For repeat blooms, prune back the plant at the end of the growing season or in the early spring for summer and fall bloomers.

Anastasia Passion Flower

The alienesque Passion Flower comes in a bright shade of pink that is sure to add interest to a trellis or gate.

Scientific Name: Passiflora ‘Anastasia’

Anastasia Passion Flower is a unique climbing vine that looks elegant, whether hanging from a basket or adorning a trellis. They can grow up to 10-feet tall, ideal for high garden walls or patio lattices.

These are a feast for butterflies, attracted to the “inside-out” anthers and vivid pink coloring. The filaments around the base of the flower are a gorgeous crimson red with white tips, adding visual interest to the abundant lobed leaves.

Angelface Super Pink Summer Snapdragon

Growing in tall spires, the Angelface Super Pink Summer Snapdragon can reach up to 30 inches.

Scientific Name: Angelonia angustifolia hybrid ‘Angelface Super Pink’

Add vertical growth to your containers or borders with Angelface Super Pink Summer Snapdragon. This highly-fragranced variety has earned more than 70 awards thanks to its large, magenta flowers and stunningly verdant foliage.

In addition to their beauty, they are straightforward to care for. They are natural attractants for butterflies and hummingbirds but are resistant to deer. Summer snapdragons are also drought and heat-resistant.

Angel’s Fishing Rod

Not only do these pink flowers look unique, they also have a lovely scent to them.

Scientific Name: Dierama pulcherrimum

Also known as the Hair Bell or Wand Flower, the charmingly blush-colored bell-shaped flowers droop from filament stems. They are evergreen in zones with warmer winters and can spike up to 5-feet tall during the summer.

They make an elegant edging around fountains, as the grass-like stems droop over when the flowers are in bloom. Angel’s Fishing Rod is also a popular plant in coastal regions, as the slightest breeze will cause the plant to dance around, sending their unique scent drifting in the wind.

Annual Phlox

This springᴛι̇ɱe favorite comes in a wide variety of pink colors and shades.

Scientific Name: Phlox drummondii

A favorite early-season feast for bees and butterflies, perennial Annual Phlox grows into a short but abundant mound of colorful multi-toned pink bulbs that burst into five-petaled stunners. ɱaпy gardeners take advantage of the phlox’s diminutive height to fill in loose soil around the base of larger shrubs.

Across the pond, these Texas wildflowers are a treasured addition to backyard gardens, where amateur botanists cultivate a full spectrum of colors, including pale pink and coral.

Apricot Lemonade Cosmos

Apricot Lemonade Cosmos flowers can grow in just about any hardiness zone in the US.

Scientific Name: Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Apricot Lemonade’

Thanks to their burst of bright pink at the inner edge of each pastel yellow or apricot orange petal, these tiny flowers look darling. In addition, they are effortless to grow for even the most novice plant enthusiasts, producing sprouts in as little as one week after planting and flowers in 2-3 months.

Cosmos grow best when started indoors in trays before getting transferred outside after the last frost. A cold snap is a death sentence, so if you choose to do direct planting, wait until the chill of late winter is long past.

Apricot Queen Sweet Pea

The sweet-smelling Apricot Queen Sweet Pea should be planted in early spring for the best results.

Scientific Name: Lathyrus odoratus ‘Apricot Queen’

A natural countryside charmer, Apricot Queen Sweet Pea produces delicate flowers with ruffled edges that make for stunning bouquet arrangements. They are well-known for their intense perfume and tendency to have more flowers the more often you pick them.

Sweet pea plants need soil with plenty of circulation and prefer cooler weather, so plant in the fall or early spring. Doing this will produce stunning peachy flowers that dissolve into a softer cream color closer to the center.

Atlantic Pigeon Wings

If you are looking for a low-growing plant with lovely pink color, this may be a good option for you.

Scientific Name: Clitoria mariana

Atlantic Pigeon Wings have light pink, deeply cupped flowers that prefer a home close to the ground. They are often mistaken for the Spurred Butterfly Pea, which has flowers that face downward.

These groundcover vines bloom throughout the summer with a slight fragrance and do well in well-drained soil. They can climb short structures but are not prone to reaching heights above 4-feet.

Balcony Petunia

Petunias are fairly easy to grow and come in a wide range of colors, including bright pinks.

Scientific Name: Petunia hybrida nana compacta

The annual Balcony Petunia can stay in bloom for a remarkably long ᴛι̇ɱe, from early May until mid-October. They are abundant, serving well as container plants or groundcover thanks to their cascade of vibrant flowers on a backdrop of layered leaves.

Because the sprouts are exceedingly delicate, plant indoors and grow for at least eight weeks before transferring outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Of course, you can also keep them indoors for a gorgeous pop of color in your living space!

Baronesse Garden Rose

Another elegant rose option gracing our list is the beautiful Baronesse Garden Rose.

Scientific Name: Rosa ‘Baronesse’

More closely resembling a handmade paper flower than an actual living plant, the Baronesse Garden Rose is a sight to behold! The rippling petals form a perfectly round rosette with a peek of bright yellow stamens at the center.

They are deep, rich pink, and can grow up to 4.5-inches in diameter. While they look stunning in a vase, don’t expect that classic rose scent or a long-lasting display. They are quick to wilt, typically only surviving a week once picked.

Beacon Rose Impatiens

Once a vicᴛι̇ɱ to downy mildew, impatiens have made a comeback with disease-resistant varieties such as this.

Scientific Name: Impatiens walleriana ‘Beacon’

Beacon Rose Impatiens are a southern gardener’s pride and joy because they are resistant to the cool, rainy fall weather, known to spell the end of the growing season for ɱaпy other flowering plants. They are also explicitly bred to resist Plasmopara destructor, or downy mildew, a plant disease that ravages most other varieties of impatiens.

Beacon Rose Impatiens do extraordinary in the shade, so feel free to plant in hanging containers on a covered patio and enjoy blooms from spring to early fall. They are also stunning as tree borders, thriving in the cool soil under the canopy of leaves.

Beardtongue

Pollinators absolutely adore these tubular blooms that grow in a number of pink shades.

Scientific Name: Penstemon

Typically found in the mountains and foothills of the western United States, Beardtongue grows tubular flowers that droop from stalks standing around 3-feet in height. The pink varieties can range from an electric fuchsia to a pale, nearly lavender pink.

When planting, be prepared to make friends with your area pollinators. These gorgeous flowers are heavy with nectar that butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees adore. Hummingbirds, in particular, are big fans of the long necks that accommodate their needle-like beaks.

Belladonna Lily

Look no further than the Belladonna variety if you want to bring that classic lily shape into your garden.

Scientific Name: Amaryllis belladonna

When left to their own devices, these lilies will come back year after year. Once their flowering season is over, leaves appear along the once-bare stem and stay verdant in the winter. When spring arrives, the plants go dorɱaпt until the weather warms again to a consistent 60-degrees.

Also known as the Naked Lady flower because of its leafless stem during flowering, this gorgeous flora bursts into life throughout the summer and stays in bloom long into fall.

Bloodstone Sea Thrift

Coastlines around the US can be found with pops of pink from these fluffy flowering plants.

Scientific Name: Armeria mariᴛι̇ɱa ‘Bloodstone’

With clusters of strawberry pink flowers bouncing on grass-like stems, Bloodstone Sea Thrift is a highly mobile flower variety that adds plenty of texture to your flower beds. Also, because these beauties typically thrive along coastlines, they are ideal for edging driveways that require salting in the winter.

If you require a carpeting flower, these are strong candidates. The flowers are highly concentrated tufts in full display from mid-spring to the end of summer.

Blue Shift Sweet Pea

A gorgeous display of blue to pink petals of the Blue Shift Sweet Pea makes for a show-stopping garden.

Scientific Name: Lathyrus odoratus ‘Blue Shift’

Blue Shift Sweet Pea is a feast for the eyes, creating a cavalcade of unusually colorful plants that seem to change their hues each ᴛι̇ɱe you look into your flower beds. Each plant has a range of shades, from a soft, sky blue to bold mauve, for plenty of variety.

Like all sweet pea plants, the Blue Shift desires warm summer days that taper into cooler evenings. Areas that regularly achieve a heat index greater than 80 degrees will see less prosperous blooms but can still enjoy the beauty from the last frost to late spring.

Breadseed Poppy

The Breadseed Poppy flower comes in a variety of different colors, including a vivid pink.

Scientific Name: Papaver somniferum

Named for their seedpods, shaped like ancient Greek vases, the Breadseed Poppy looks like a watercolor painting come to life. Each creamy white petal has a wash of fuchsia that fades further into the flower.

These are an excellent, practical flower option for home bakers once the blooming season is over. You can harvest and dry the seedpods for a bounty of poppy seeds to top your bread, muffins, and cakes.

Bressingham Beauty Arendsii Hybrid

You can find these blushing spires in the garden in the first half of summer.

Scientific Name: Astilbe x arendsii ‘Bressingham Beauty’

Resembling pleasingly pink spires, the Bressingham Beauty is a cross between the Astilbe and the Arendsii that requires very little work to produce their fern-like foliage and plumes of minute flowers that form this perennial dream.

While their blush only lasts during the first half of summer, the caramelly-colored bulbs that appear after flowering are a beauty in their own right. They are also lovely when dried and pressed.

Brother Cadfael English Rose

Large, scented blooms grace the dark foliage of the Brother Cadfael English Rose bush.

Scientific Name: Rosa ‘Brother Cadfael’

Growing on shrubs in the tradition of roses, Brother Cadfael English Roses are large, round, and luxuriously scented. Even the leaves take on a touch of pink, creating handsome contrast against the darker green parts of the foliage. They resemble peonies in both size and shape. This type of rose is easy to grow and fairly low maintenance.

While they may look delicate, these perennials are very hardy and stay in flower from spring until the first frost of the year. You can expect the blooms to remain vivacious throughout the growing season, especially in particularly fertile soil.

Butterscotch Peruvian Lily

Peruvian Lilies grow best in the warmer climates of hardiness zones 7-10.

Scientific Name: Alstroemeria ‘Butterscotch’

Trumpet-shaped and long-necked, the Butterscotch Peruvian lily features peachy pink petals freckled in burgundy red. They are bright and vigorous, with sword-shaped leaves in a particularly vibrant shade of green.

Lilies are safe from critters like rabbits and deer but draw the attention of insect pollinators. Keep them away from high winds to maintain stem strength, and you can expect to carry healthy blooms from early summer into the fall.

Cabaret Pink Star Calibrachoa

If you want a flower that will catch the attention of others, the striped Cabaret Pink Star Calibrachoa is a great choice.

Scientific Name: Calibrachoa hybrid ‘Balcabanista’

Buttery stripes run up the length of the petals on the Caberet Pink Star Calibachoa, creating a starburst effect along with the dark red center. ɱaпy compare the look of this flower to a petunia, but with an intriguing visual effect that will leave you breathless.

In addition to its beauty, this variety of calibrachoa is versatile. In zones 2-7, it grows annually from late spring through fall but is perennial in zones 8-11, where the winters are warmer.

Candy Mountain Foxglove

Reaching up to 4 feet tall, Candy Mountain Foxglove is a great option for adding pink height to any landscape.

Scientific Name: Digitalis purpurea ‘Candy Mountain’

Candy Mountain Foxglove is truly a sight to behold! The massively tall perennial flowers are flush with large, up-turned bells of rosy pink blooms that open to reveal the deep, spotted throats. It is just this feature that draws hummingbirds to enjoy a refreshing sip of their nectar.

This variety of foxglove shoots up rapidly in the early summer, reaching up to 4-feet in height and 2-feet of spread. They are critter-resistant and do fabulously in containers, along fence lines, or as the focal point of your garden.

Candytufts

These cheerful blossoms do best when planted where they can receive full sun for 6-8 hours.

Scientific Name: Iberis sempervirens

Truly resembling little tufts of rippling ribbon sweets, Candytufts will fill in near-ground open areas with abundant bloom. The configuration of the tiny flowers is unique in that they come together to resemble a single, more giant flower dotted in the lively yellow stamen.

While they may look like candy, they certainly don’t smell like it. Keep these plants far from any open windows, as the odor can be unpleasant. It’s easily masked by other flowers, though, so keep something fragrant on-hand for the Candytuft’s blooming season between early spring and mid-summer.

Carnaby Early Large-Flowered Clematis

This lively climbing plant looks beautiful on a gate or patio lattice.

Scientific Name: Clematis ‘Carnaby’

Hailing from the buttercup family, Carnaby Early Large-Flowered Clematis are waved along the edges, enhancing their spectacular color show. The flower starts a delicate shade of pink at the center of each petal before bursting into an explosion of fuchsia, then fading out to white at the edge.

These charming climbers can produce a second set of flowers if pruned in the early summer after the first bloom dies off but may require 2-3 seasons of heavy cutback if allowed to flourish untouched.

Catchfly

Small clusters of half-inch pink blooms with rounded petals grow on sticky, hairy stems of the Catchfly.

Scientific Name: Silene gallica

Fill your garden space with Catchfly, and you’ll soon understand why it also goes by the name “None-So-Pretty!” Tiny flowers in the brilliant electric pink top the sticky, hair-covered stems for an eye-catching addition to a natural meadow or rustic flower bed.

While technically a perennial, it is often planted annually outside zones 5-8. It flowers in the mid-late summer but requires in-home cultivation for 8-10 weeks or fall planting for the most abundant blooms.

Cecile Brunner Climbing Rose

The Cecile Brunner Climbing Rose will make any garden lattice, gate, or trellis look regal and elegant.

Scientific Name: Rosa ‘Cecile Brunner’

Powdery pink petals adorn the Cecile Brunner Climbing Rose, which the Royal Horticultural Society has recognized with an Award of Golden Merit. If you need a climber with spectacular blooms, this thornless rose is the flower for the job.

Cherry Blossom

Cherry Blossom trees put on quite a show when they bloom each spring.

Scientific Name: Prunus serrulata

Fill your yard with one of the most spectacular sights on earth – dainty sakura blossoms cascading forth from the dark branches of the Japanese Flowering Cherry tree. These iconic showstoppers are well-depicted in art thanks to their bounty of pink flowers that seem to stay for only a moment each spring.

While getting your hands on a proper cherry blossom tree can be exceedingly tricky, several famous cultivators are available on the North American market.

Chinese Cobra Lily

If you live in a moderate climate, consider growing these delicate flowers with white and pink stripes.

Scientific Name: Arisaema candidissimum

Stripes of white and dark green naturally draw the eye upwards towards the bowl-shaped bell of the elegant Chinese Cobra Lily. Each flower is capped with a dapperly curved flourish of petals and features a tall, girthy stamen that peeks over the edge. These exotic lilies have earned an Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society.

While they may look like a challenging plant to ɱaпage, they do pretty well as perennials in fertile soil, so long as their underground tubers are kept hydrated after the growing season. They are a popular snack for slugs, so keep an eye out while they flower for a short ᴛι̇ɱe in spring and early summer.

Clary Sage

Clary Sage appreciates and thrives in full sunlight during the day.

Scientific Name: Salvia sclarea

Grey-green leaves make a smoky backdrop for the papery pinkish-purple flowers of the Clary Sage, an herbaceous perennial that serves a purpose outside of its visual attractiveness. Harvest sage for culinary and beauty applications or simply enjoy the subtle color.

For the most prosperous blooms, leave your sage plants to thrive on their own in full sun. They will gladly take hold if allowed to self-seed. After its spring and summer growth has waned, prune away a few plants to dry if you’d like to try your hand at homemade soaps or spice up your repertoire of cooking goodies.

Concolor Lace Geranium

Though tiny, these petite flowers grow in clusters that add a delicate touch of color to the green foliage.

Scientific Name: Pelargonium ‘Concolor Lace’

Cultivated explicitly for its pleasant scent, this variety of geranium produces delicate flowers and lacy leaves that smell like spiced hazelnuts when crushed. While the foliage makes up the vast majority of the mass, the brilliantly pink flowers are worth having an extra bit of green in your plot.

Concolor Lace Geranium displays its tiny flowers in late spring, summer, and early fall. During the summer heat, ensure that the soil remains well-watered to see blooms return the following year.

Coral Fountain Amaranthus

The Coral Fountain Amaranthus is named for its coral-colored flowers that cascade down to about 18 inches.

Scientific Name: Amaranthus caudatus

Heavy with tassels, the Coral Fountain Amaranthus flower grows up to 18-inches long, positively dripping with a rich variety of orange-pink flowers clumped together around a central stem.

The drooping flowers bloom through the summer and fall, eventually dying out after the first frost. At that point, ɱaпy amaranthus enthusiasts harvest the dried seeds for a protein-rich addition to their diet.

Coral Reef Celosia

Not only do these gorgeously unique flowers grow well in the garden, they also do well as cut flowers in vases.

Scientific Name: Celosia argentea var. cristata

A tremendous contributor to the textural interest of your flower beds, Coral Reef Celosia has lettuce-like petals that come to life as temperatures soar. Ripples of pink, coral, salmon, and berry blend together into towers of branching, velvety flowers that produce massive numbers of blooms.

This celosia variety will continue to grow in size over the entire duration of summer, so save your harvest until they’ve reached their peak size. They look gorgeous in vases and will last up to two weeks.

Coral Vine

The pretty pink vines of the Coral Vine sprawl through the foliage of this coastal-loving plant.

Scientific Name: Antigonon leptopus

Cupcakes Blush Cosmos

Cupcakes Blush Cosmos grow in delicate pink shades that make them a springᴛι̇ɱe classic.

Scientific Name: Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Cupcakes Blush’

Extra-large and extra sweet, Cupcake Blush Cosmos are iconic with their fluted, tissue paper petals in baby pink. The roɱaпtic pink flowers get their name from the resemblance to cupcake wrappers. They can reach spans of 5-inches atop slender stems and feathery foliage.

Dame’s Rocket

The flowers of Dame’s Rocket bloom for about 90 days.

Scientific Name: Hesperis matronalis

Dame Rocket closely resembles phlox in both looks and their tendency to conquer any bit of earth where they are allowed to thrive. They are a member of the mustard family, along with cauliflower and cabbages, and the delightful pink flowers produce copious amounts of seeds during their three-month flowering season.

If you want to incorporate Dame Rocket without taking over your plots, cut the heads back before they drop seeds and burn the plants before they dry out. Otherwise, the pods may burst from the heat and spread.

Dark Eyes Fuchsia

Dramatic color-changing petals make the Darks Eyes Fucshia a great option for hanging containers in your garden.

Scientific Name: Fuchsia hybrida ‘Dark Eyes’

The flowers of Dark Eyes Fuchsia are incredibly vibrant in the dark violet and electric magenta.

Divine Pink Impatiens

Impatiens are steadily one of the most popular flowers among gardeners, especially the brightly-colored Divine Pink.

Scientific Name: Impatiens hawkeri ‘Divine Pink’

Matte Millennial pink flowers show just a splash of magenta at the center, where two barely-there petals remain furled throughout the plant’s life cycle. The profoundly green leaves are nearly black in appearance, a perfect backdrop for these little beauties to shine in all of their simple splendor. Impatiens are easy to grow, and are quite a hardy plant that can adapt to ɱaпy different environments.

Dragon’s Mouth

If you are wanting to plant a pink orchid in your home or garden, Dragon’s Mouth may be a good option for you.

Scientific Name: Arethusa bulbosa

When you look at a Dragon’s Mouth head-on, you’ll see why it received its whimsical monitor. Each plant proudly boasts but one flower. It’s a graceful two-petaled beauty in white with darling flamingo pink freckles on the orchid’s flowers. Three sepals form the “snout” of the dragon, complete with flared nostrils.

Leave Dragon’s Mouth to its own devices and watch it spread across any space with the proper moisture requirements.

Easy Wave Rosy Dawn Petunia

The cheerful pink petals of the Easy Wave Rosy Dawn Petunia open up to yellow throats that are loved by hummingbirds.

Elsie Heugh Checker Bloom

Each flower of the Elsie Heugh Checker Bloom forms a cup-shape.

Scientific Name: Sidalcea ‘Elsie Heugh’

Darlings of the meadows and prairies, Elsie Heugh Checker Bloom has five paper-thin petals that curl around each other, forming a bowl around a group of peppered stamen. They look almost like floral seashells, with fluting running the length of the blossom.

They prefer lightly aerated soils and will return each year in abundance if planted in full sun.

Europa Japonica Hybrid

Feathery blooms of the Europa Japonica Hybrid add a desirable texture to landscapes or gardens.

Scientific Name: Astilbe japonica ‘Europa’

The Europa Japonica Hybrid boasts tempting cotton candy spears of tufty flowers. They are stellar in moon gardens, as the incredibly delicate shade of these pink flowers seems to glow under the night sky.

Fiesta ᴛι̇ɱe Hollyhock

With beautiful pink, red and white colors, ‘Fiesta ᴛι̇ɱe’ is a lovely hollyhock variety.

Scientific Name: Alcea rosea ‘Fiesta ᴛι̇ɱe’

Fiesta ᴛι̇ɱe Hollyhock is a party for the senses, putting forth fringed flowers that dip and curve along the edges for scrumptious vegetative texture. They grow all along the stem, starting at the bottom in mid-summer and finishing their growing season a mere two months later.

Felicia Hybrid Musk Rose

Among the rose favorites, Felicia Hybrid Musk Roses bloom for ɱaпy months.

Formosan Lady’s Slipper Orchid

Though dainty-looking, the Formosan Lady’s Slipper Orchid is quite hardy for an orchid.

Scientific Name: Cypripedium formosanum

For fans of all things miniature, these teensy, dappled slippers are fragile in appearance but are quite hardy for a member of the orchid family. The crinkly white flowers have ornate speckles in shades of hot pink, fuchsia, and yellow.

What’s genuinely alluring about the Formosan Lady’s Slipper Orchid, though, is its shape. Quite literally resembling a cozy slipper, they consist of a puffed-out pouch topped with three delicate petals. A fourth, much brighter pink petal tucks into the pocket, forming the “sole” of the shoe.

Hillcrest Suffusion Dahlia

These decorative, coral-pink blossoms are loved by gardeners and florists.

Scientific Name: Dahlia ‘Hillcrest Suffusion’

Hillcrest Suffusion dahlias are classified as decorative dahlias and are loved by florists. They have warm coral-pink petals that are brushed with soft gold, making them incredibly beautiful. These flowers only grow to be about 3 inches in diameter, though still pack a pink punch with their double growth.

Native to Mexico, they grow best in the warmer climates of zones 8-11. Full sun is best for flowering, but during the summer, light shade is appreciated. Consistent moisture in the soil is necessary and it should not dry out, especially in the growing season.

Inca Ice Peruvian Lily

Pollinators are attracted to the soft, pastel petals of the Inca Ice Peruvian Lily.

Scientific Name: Alstroemeria hybrid ‘Inca Ice’

The Inca Ice Peruvian Lily is draped in dreamily ethereal hues of pinkish apricot, mellow yellow, and sage green like soft, vintage lace. Standing out against the gentle wash of colors are the lily’s trademark freckles, appearing even more prominent in their striking burgundy.

The plant produces an exuberance of trumpet-shaped blooms from early-late summer, attracting keystone pollinators while evading the attention of deers. When the winter comes, mulch the beds to ensure new growth takes hold next year.

Infinity Pink Frost Impatiens

The single fuchsia petal and the stripe of the same color on the others make these impatiens unique from others.

Scientific Name: Impatiens x hawkeri ‘Infinity Pink Frost’

The curious coloration on the petals is the main draw of the Infinity Pink Frost Impatiens. As the mounding perennial unfurls its blooms in the spring, you’ll notice each flower has a single fuchsia petal mixed in with the bubblegum pink floret.

A streak of the same color trails down the middle lobe of each petal, making Infinity Pink Frost a reliable perennial performer with intense visual interest.

Joey Mulla Mulla

Warmer regions of the US get to take pleasure in the bottle brush pink flares during the spring.

Scientific Name: Ptilotus exaltatus ‘Joey’

The bottle-brush Joey Mulla Mulla is a charmer, with pleasantly feathery cones of flowers that cluster closely together. If you plant them as a perennial, you’ll see blossoms start in the winter and then die off in the fall. As an annual, the pink flowers bloom in the springᴛι̇ɱe.

King Size Apricot China Aster

These large asters only take about two months to mature.

Scientific Name: Callistephus chinensis

Yet another example of the versatility of aster, the King Size Apricot China Aster has a globular flowerhead with slender, gently curved petals. Each flower is enrobed in various peachy pink, champagne, and cream hues to form a multifaceted bloom that would look stunning as a garden centerpiece.

Start your asters indoors at least six weeks before the last frost, or risk a more diminutive stem. They can take up to two months to reach maturity, so this ensures you have plenty of ᴛι̇ɱe to enjoy them before the flowering season ends.

Kirigami Rose and Pink Columbine
