Pink Flowering Plants

Soft pinks read as calm and romantic and blend into almost any scheme. Hot pinks are bright and tropical and want bold partners like orange, lime and dark foliage. Each plant page describes where its colour sits.

Plenty here bloom for months, especially with deadheading. Combining early and late varieties keeps pink in the border from spring well into autumn.

Some do, particularly the woodland types, though most flower best with a good amount of sun. Check the aspect listed on each plant if your spot is shady.

Soft pink loves silver foliage, white and purple. Hot pink wants contrast, so pair it with orange, lime green or bronze leaves for real impact.
