Flowers for a Pink Flower Garden

People often buy plants from garden centers or discount stores without considering what colors the flowers will be when the plants bloom. If you want your garden to look well planned, consider choosing colors that go well together. Why not consider planting a pink flower garden offset by white flowers? Pink flowers are simply beautiful, and there are many shades of pink flowers to choose from. A flower garden that’s primarily pink is very eye-catching, and pink flowers are some of the prettiest flowers offered by nature. Plant a pink flower garden offset by white flowers, and those who admire your garden will be tickled pink! The following pink flowers are suitable for most heartiness zones in the United States.

Pink Carpet Phlox

Have you ever noticed mounds of tiny pink flowers growing on hillsides in mid spring and wondered what they were? Chances are the pink flowers in question were pink carpet phlox. This pink flowering plant is considered a groundcover, and it’s perfect for hard-to-care for hillsides where the soil is low in quality. Pink carpet phlox is also a great addition to a rock garden. Pink carpet phlox reaches a maximum height of about six inches, and it spreads profusely with a minimal amount of care. Consider pink carpet phlox in zones three through nine. It’s a beautiful addition to hillside gardens, rock gardens, and anywhere you want beautiful pink flowering groundcover.
