Pink-flowering plants

Plants with pink flowers for a colour-themed border.

Pink is the most forgiving border colour, ranging from sharp cerise and magenta through to the softest blush, and it sits happily alongside almost anything. The key decision is warm versus cool: blue-pinks read cool and pair with purple and silver, while salmon and coral pinks read warm and sit better with apricot and bronze. Mixing the two carelessly is what makes a pink scheme jar. Soften strong pinks with plenty of green and grey foliage, and use the palest shades to link bolder colours. Deadhead to keep the flush going. These plants cover the full pink range, so you can build a tonal scheme or pick out a single shade to repeat.
