22 Lovely Pink Plants For Your Yard And Garden

The pink flowers are not pale red, faded red or discolored flowers, they offer, on the contrary, a full color largely dominant in the garden and very appreciated to deposit a small touch of tenderness and sweetness, which also tends to give a romantic connotation to the garden. Those who are not afraid to make sexist connections will not hesitate to recall that pink has traditionally been the color attached to little girls. Childhood, candy and happiness are also associated with this pink color with many flowers being covered among many other shades.

Home and garden decor with white flowers – The meaning of color and unique design ideas

Anemone

Anemones are preferred due to the relatively long blooming period they have covering spring, summer and autumn seasons. It is the flower that symbolizes luck and many people perceive it as bringing spiritual peace of mind.

Society garlic

Society garlic, Tulbaghia violacea, is a clump-forming perennial with a strong garlic smell. The smell comes from the crushed leaves or flower stems, making it unsuitable for use as a cut flower. However, apart from the garlic smell, the plant is worth growing for its beautiful large heads of lavender pink blooms held on tall stems from mid-summer to early autumn.

Creeping Phlox

This delicate peddled flower grows just four to six inches tall but can spread as far as 24 inches, making it a wonderful ground cover. Flower varieties vary from white to pink, with the candy stripe variety perhaps the most stunning.

Daylily

These beautiful plants have a tropical look though they can grow in zones 3-9. Generally blooming in summer and fall, daylily loves the sun. These beautiful flowers can be grown anywhere, but look particularly nice mixed in with dark green shrubbery.

Oriental Lily

Grown from bulbs, lilies require minimal care and will return year after year if you plant them in the right place. (They need lots of sun and well-drained soil.)

Ornamental Strawberry

This zone 2-9 groundcover has dark green leaves that look like strawberry foliage but instead of fruit they grow a little burst of pink blossom. Growing just six inches tall but spreading up to a yard, these delicate little flowers bloom a long time, from spring through fall.

Petunia

The petunia comes in a variety of pink and purple shades and is loved by butterflies and hummingbirds alike. They need daily water and are grown as an annual in most areas.

‘Miss Piggy’ Bergenia

Bergenia earned the common name Pigsqueak due to the squeaky sounds the leaves make as they are rubbed together. This new genus for the Proven Winners perennial collection is appropriately named ‘Miss Piggy’! In early spring, a stunning display of bright pink flowers top the thick, dark green, glossy leaves. Compared to ‘Sakura’, ‘Miss Piggy’ has more consistent pink flower color, a larger canopy of foliage, and broader, more substantial leaves. The perfect choice to jumpstart your garden after the snow melts.

Aster

Aster is not only an easy-to-grow pink perennial, but it also attracts pollinators. It’s closely related to the daisy and blooms all the way from summer until the end of the fall months. It can attract all kinds of pollinators, including butterflies, and generally grows up to four feet tall.

Forget-Me-Not

Ideal for cottage-style gardens, Forget-Me-Nots are entrenched in folklore and bloom readily from May until October. These flowers can be found in all kinds of colors – most commonly powder blue – but you really need to give the pink cultivars a try if you are hoping for a more romantic feel in your garden.

Chrysanthemum

Mums are known for their beauty in both the late summer and early fall months. These gorgeous flowers may need a bit of extra shade to maintain their beautiful pink hues in the summer months of warmer growing zones, but otherwise, are incredibly low-maintenance.

Tulips

The tulip is the quintessential spring flower, blooming for just a few days per year in this season. The limited bloom time is worth it, though, as tulips are absolutely beautiful to behold. You can find tulips in all shades of pink, including pale pink and deep magenta.

Bee Balm

The fragrant leaves can be made into tea, the gorgeous flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds. It loves the sun from zones 4-9.
