Pink plants

One of the most delightful plant colours, pink is the colour for affection, young love and everything sweet and lovely. Pink plants in your garden will put a smile on your face every time they bloom, like the gorgeous Gaura lindheimeri that flowers with little pale pink petals in the summer.

And for the keen gardener, there is the stunning Ornamental Cabbage, which is actually a type of kale that grows in a variety of pink shades, from pale salmon pink to magenta and cerise.
