The surest way to give your site freshness, to make it truly spring and light, is to plant pink flowers in its flower beds. The names of such plants with a brief description will be presented in the article below, but it should be noted in advance that among them there are both single flowers and bushes, and even trees. Also, pink representatives of the flora can be annual or long-lived. Take this into account when designing your site.

The pink flower is a characteristic feature of the perennial plant Brandushka. These tuberous bushes begin to bloom in mid-April, and delight the eye with such beauty almost until the end of summer. Following the brandushka, they appear in the colchicum - its closest relative. They look like small, almost lilac stars that can be planted throughout the area to create a magical spectacle.

Phloxes have incomparable beauty. Their long stems are literally strewn with bright pink flowers that do not fade for two months. It is easy to form a flower carpet from them, since they always grow close to each other. If phloxes are properly cared for, they will bloom in the fall.

Stunning pink flower - tulip. As a rule, it pleases the eye only in the spring, starting in March. At such a time, pink with a blue bottom or pink with silver edges may bloom in your flowerbed. Closer to May, a terry pale pink variety will become a worthy decoration of the flowerbed.

Among the most common plants that are characterized by this delicate color is lilac. It blooms by the end of May, and with proper care does not lose its small flowers for another month. In any garden, lilacs will be an excellent alternative to small fences.

Perhaps the most charming, and at the same time simple, pink flower is the daisy. Among them there are terry varieties and winter-hardy ones; with large flowers and very small, dwarf ones, which can form a stunning spring carpet on your site.

Pink color is also characteristic of a whole host of flora representatives. Here you can name tea rose, iris, hawthorn, dahlia, clematis, and even peony. Decorative pink plums create a stunning effect in the garden.

The pink range for flowering plants growing in the middle zone is not new. More than 100 types of flowers of various shapes and sizes can please the eye with petals of various shades of pink. Which specimen should you choose for your garden? And what does the presented bouquet, composed of soft pink buds, say?

Which pink flower to choose for your garden?

The dacha plot allows you to enjoy the variety of shades, and therefore there is also a place for pink tones here. But which colors should you prefer? Of course, one immediately remembers soft pink tea roses, which have been considered the main decoration of the garden for several decades. Single large buds or small ones scattered throughout a lush bush - it doesn’t matter: both of them will become the highlight of the flower garden.

Potted specimens will begin to open their buds at the end of spring, turning towards the sun. Later ones can wait for the onset of autumn, standing out against the backdrop of fading nature. In the matter of caring for this flower, of course, there are many tricks and nuances, and some of them relate to the choice of seedling. There should be no damaged leaves on it, their color is juicy green, not dull or yellowish. In addition, in all the abundance of buds, those that have not yet had time to bloom should prevail.

Among the variety of varieties with pink petals, gardeners recommend Diamant - terry lush balls exude a fragrant aroma and greatly overlap the foliage due to their considerable size. From a distance it seems that there is absolutely no greenery in this pink kingdom. Chinese species and varieties are more reminiscent of rose hips, since their buds are not so dense, the core with stamens is clearly visible, and the color is uneven: towards the center the saturation of the already light color of the petals fades away. Particularly attractive here is the “Angelwings” variety, which is distinguished by its unpretentiousness, early flowering (mid-late April), but also low germination (65-70% of seeds). In addition, over time, their petals fade, turning from bright pink to almost white.

Chrysanthemums are pink no less often than roses. These stars of long and thin petals, seated around a lemon-yellow fluffy center, bloom in July and decorate the countryside until October, surviving light frosts. Due to the fact that the bulk of chrysanthemums are perennials, you don’t have to think about sowing them every year. The height of the bush is 40-150 cm, and throughout the green canvas there is a lush cap of small flowers.

In addition to the fact that they look great in flower beds, chrysanthemums are also often used in cut bouquets. The only factor that is important to consider when planting this flower is location. The bush should sit in direct sunlight and on well-drained soil, and since this plant is sensitive to the regime of day and night, it is not advisable to place it near garden lights to avoid internal disturbances. Of the varieties, “MonaLisa”, which has a green core, has earned special love from gardeners with pink petals, "SantiniTango", "Batini" and "ArtistPinkImproved".

Delicate pink lilies are the embodiment of femininity, purity and freshness. A bouquet that spreads a strong, bright aroma is not always appropriate in an apartment, but in the garden several bushes will definitely take root and deserve their share of attention. "LiliumDolcetto" is one of the most famous varieties with a similar color. This is a hybrid with long (up to 25 cm) flowers, whose petals have a pearlescent coating on the outside. The attractiveness of the variety lies in its winter hardiness; moreover, it does not even require shelter. And for connoisseurs of unscented specimens, the Asian hybrid “TropicDiamond” has been developed: raspberry-pink gramophones reach 15-18 cm in length and tolerate frost well.

Pink indoor flowers: photos and descriptions

Of those flowers that can grow in an apartment no worse than in the fresh air, the palm is held by geranium, which can probably be found in every home. A single long stem with rounded leaves and crowned inflorescences of 8-14 flowers emitting a strong aroma: this is what a classic indoor geranium looks like. In addition to its decorative functions, the plant also has many healing properties: daily inhalation of its aroma in front of the bush for 8-10 minutes stabilizes the state of the nervous system, eliminates insomnia, and relieves stress. For this reason, geranium was considered a remedy that could improve the atmosphere in the house, reduce the frequency of quarrels, and improve mutual understanding in the family. In addition, the phytoncides of this plant have a positive effect on the condition of the gastrointestinal tract, the cardiovascular system, and in the summer it helps protect the apartment from flies.

Such an exotic flower as anthurium, which is an ampelous plant, best takes root near windows facing any side, excluding the south. The flower tolerates shade well, suffering much more from dry air, so it needs to be constantly sprayed. It blooms buds all year round, but is also valued for its large, heart-shaped foliage. The flowers are not inferior in beauty to this greenery: the “Lacetti” variety has a delightful light pink color of single-petal flowers, the same heart-shaped as the leaves. The cylinder-shaped core is most often yellow-green and quite long. To make the colors brighter, it is recommended to fertilize the anthurium with mineral fertilizer in March.

The decoration of an apartment can be not only Pink flowers: which ones to choose for the garden? Just a flowering plant, but also a deciduous one. Irezine, grown in the garden as an annual, lives at home for more than 1 year, has leaves with a beet-pink color and greenish veins. It has inflorescences, but they are not so much attractive as they are unusual: purely in appearance, these balls strongly resemble a ball of woolen threads.

Achimenes is also valued in the apartment. Under natural conditions, it grows in the tropics, so it is not surprising that it does not like harsh winters. In the middle zone it is grown only indoors, where it is possible to maintain the desired temperature. The plant is hanging because the shoots are soft, do not hold their shape and constantly tend to fall down. In addition to the lanceolate dark green leaves, with a purple color on the inside, there are small flowers on the shoots up to 5 cm long and with a petal bend diameter of up to 7 cm. Their color is raspberry-pink, the upper petals are slightly smaller than the lower ones, with a corolla every 3 days dies off, giving way to a new one. The flowering period of Achimenes is spring-autumn.

Pink color of flowers: meaning and symbolism

In bouquets, pink flowers are found a little less often than red or white ones. What is their significance? Colombians traditionally kept pink anthurium in the newlyweds' bedroom during their honeymoon, promising them a happy family life. Raspberry-pink callas given to an unmarried girl spoke of admiration for her beauty and admiration for her. In a broader sense, pink flowers are softer in color than red ones, but they belong specifically to this primary color. Therefore, its main meaning is love, but tender, reverent, mixed with reverence for the recipient. Pink flowers are often given to those to whom they want to show respect, and they are also presented as a sign of courtesy, politeness and courtesy.

A bouquet of pink clover was given for good luck, or with an interline recognition that the one to whom this flower was given brings happiness to the giver. Gentle mallows - please pay attention, believe, forgive, treat what happened with understanding and leniency. Pink lush caps of peonies, which not long ago surpassed even roses in demand, are able to say more than the queen of flowers: they promise to give the whole world to the one to whom they were given. Unlike a rose, they do not shout about the feelings of the giver, but guarantee his reliability in marriage and fidelity. Dreams of a shared future and never-letting-go love are symbolized by bright pink phloxes, and crimson gladiolus assures of the sincerity of intentions and feelings.
