The colour pink comes in many forms, many quite descriptive. There are fruity shades such as cerise, strawberry and raspberry. There are salmon pinks. There are degrees of pink from pale to deep. Shades may be soft, clear, bright or brilliant - they may be warm or hot. They can be rose or dusty rose, lavender-pink or lilac-pink. Some are even metallic pink, shell pink or ice pink.

Most shades of pink are complemented by purples, grays and whites. Choosing yellow companions is a trickier prospect. There is many a "marriage made in heaven" to be found among the partnerships below.

ACHILLEA

This genus was named for the mythic Greek warrior, Achilles, alleged to have soothed his soldiers' wounds with the crushed leaves of the Yarrow plant.

Achillea:  dark pink forms

in front of:  Veronica (tall blue) & white daisies

with:  Valeriana officinalis, Digitalis

note:  this cultivar progresses through various bright to pale pink shades as the blooms age for a lovely effect
with:  Linum perenne, Chrysanthemum x superbum, Salvia x superba, Valeriana, Digitalis

with:  Delphinium (light blue)
behind edging of:  Veronica 'Goodness Grows' or Stachys 'Silver Carpet'
combined with:  Chrysanthemum x superbum (double) & Hemerocallis (dark red)
combined with:  Veronica longifolia & Gypsophila 'Rosy Veil'

ALCEA

To start Hollyhocks from seed, sow directly where you want plants to grow. Do so in fall in rich, moist, well-drained soil. Save seed from your favourites but pull out older plants after bloom. Rust disease affects older plants worse than it does younger ones. Never compost any part of this biennial.

Alcea rosea 'Chater's Double':  Chater's Double Hollyhock, pink

behind:  Baptisia australis, Paeonia, Dictamnus, Aconitum, 3' yellow Achillea
near:  Gypsophila paniculata, Alcea (tall white forms)

If you've given up on Hollyhocks entirely, preferring something somewhat shorter or less disease-prone, you might want to try either of the pink-flowered look-alikes below.

ANEMONE

Many of the pink Windflowers are among the fall-blooming forms, as you will see below. There are also pink shades in the spring-bloomers as well.

AQUILEGIA

The word "graceful" describes this short-lived perennial perfectly. Start only the species from seed sown in autumn or spring. Cultivars will rarely come "true" i.e. resemble the parent plant.

Aquilegia 'Robin':  Songbird Strain Columbine

with:  blue and purple shades of Iris sibirica
combined with:  Heuchera 'June Bride' & Geranium x 'Johnson's Blue'

ARABIS

Early autumn is the time to sow fresh seeds or plant root divisions of this spring-blooming rock garden or border edging perennial. Gritty, well-drained soil in full sun is best.

Arabis caucasica 'Compinkie':  rosy-pink

ASTER

Did you know that the sprays of Asters look wonderful in both fresh and dried arrangements? The small, daisy-like blooms usually have bright yellow centres. Seeds sown in spring will bloom the following year. Remember to divide clumps every 2-3 years to keep them vigorous. Replant only the healthy outer portions and discard the spent centre.

Aster 'Crimson Brocade':  tall pink

with:  Cimicifuga simplex 'White Pearl'

ASTILBE

The blooming spikes of Astilbe in their myriad colours also make wonderful cut flowers for arrangements, either fresh or dried. The name Astilbe, according to The American Horticultural Society's FLOWER FINDER means "without color" and refers to the leaves. Here is another interesting tidbit from the same source... If your Astilbe's leaves are shiny, it most likely belongs to the species Astilbe simplicifolia.

Astilbe chinensis 'Pumila'

BEGONIA

The Hardy Begonia is said to be hardy only to Zone 6 but would perhaps be worth a try with some winter protection in Zone 5. Both flowers and foliage are attractive. Growing from a small bulb-like tuber, it reaches a height of 2 feet.

Begonia grandis

BELLIS

This genus, grown in full sun to semi-shade, in fertile, well-drained soil, will perform as a perennial or biennial. Dead-head the tiny, daisy-like flowers after bloom. Seed should be sown in early summer. Division should be done after the flowering period is over. Moisture needs to be maintained through the growing period.

Bellis perennis:   a biennial

under:  red and pink Tulipa, Narcissus & Tulipa

BERGENIA

"Vigorous" is a word often used to describe Pig Squeak, also known as Heartleaf Bergenia, a perennial that grows best in moist, well-drained soil with lots of organic matter. Propagate by seed or root division in early spring. Enjoy both its large, shiny, heart-shaped leaves and its mid-spring blooms.

Bergenia cordifolia

CAMPANULA

Pink may not be the colour you think of first when Bellflower is mentioned. But there are pink choices for bloom in late spring or early summer, sometimes into fall depending on species. You might also want to try Bellflower look-alikes including Platycodon - Balloon Flower and Adenophora - Lady-Bells.

Campanula lactiflora 'Loddon Anna':  soft pink

combined with:  white Phlox paniculata, Perovskia atriplicifolia, Caryopteris or Adenophora confusa

CENTAUREA

Blooming in spring or summer, Knapweeds are valuable "fillers" in gardens with full sun and well-drained soil. Sow seeds either in spring or early fall where you want plants to grow. Division should be done in spring or fall every 2-3 years.

CHELONE

These tall plants for shady, moist sites are known as Turtlehead, Snakehead, Balmony and Pink Turtlehead. They prefer a somewhat acidic soil, with a pH level from 4-6. A late-summer bloom time is also a welcome quality as so many shade-lovers bloom much earlier in the season. Hooded flowers occur in spikes on upright, leafy stems. Maintain constant moisture to ensure survival.

Chelone lyonii:  Pink Turtlehead

with late-summer bloomers:  Aster, Phlox paniculata, Solidago

in border with:  Eupatorium purpureum, Aster, Anaphalis, Anemone x hybrida
in meadow with:  Solidago, Helianthus, Ornamental Grasses

COREOPSIS

Pink Coreopsis? Yes! Pink Tickseed is similar in appearance to Coreopsis verticillata 'Moonbeam'. At 2 feet tall and with blooms from June to September it makes a wonderful edger. My Heritage Perennials PERENNIAL GARDENING GUIDE warns that "Plants are vigorous and spreading, to be used with caution in the border".

Coreopsis rosea:  rose-pink Tickseed, Pink Coreopsis

with:  Artemisia 'Silver Brocade'
near:  Rudbeckia purpurea
groundcover with:  Lilium (when grown near border front)

DIANTHUS

All but the alpine forms of Pinks need division every 2 years to ensure vigour. Check out the plant tables at garden nurseries while these beauties are in bloom to see which ones you absolutely must add to your gardens. There will be many.

Dianthus:  pink forms

DICENTRA

Pendent flowers are the hallmark of the Bleeding Hearts. Give them semi-shade and humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil. Divide in very early spring.

Dicentra:  pink or red forms

for partnership ideas follow the link to Shade Perennials & Their Companions

DIGITALIS

Some Foxgloves are biennial, others are perennial. All produce flower spikes for summer bloom. Although they will grow in a variety of situation and soil types, they do best in semi-shade with moist, well-drained soil.

Digitalis x mertonensis:  Strawberry Pink Foxglove

where:  mid-rear border position, massed along wall or fence
with:  flowering shrubs, ferns, Ornamental Grasses

with:  Hemerocallis
tall forms with:  Aruncus dioicus, Cimicifuga, Yucca, Anemone sylvestris

DODECATHEON

Spring to summer blooming, the Shooting Star should be planted where its distinctive small flowers can be easily seen. Mark the site well as this native North American wildflower goes dormant after bloom. A spot in full sun to part shade with rich, moist soil is ideal.

Dodecatheon meadia:  Shooting Star, a pink form

for partnership ideas and a picture follow the link to Shade Perennials & Their Companions

ECHINACEA

In spite of its name, the native North American wildflower known as Purple Coneflower blooms more pink than purple in colour. The ray florets and central disk florets appear in early to mid-summer and will bloom sporadically to early fall if kept dead-headed. Full sun and average, well-drained soil will ensure success.

Echinacea purpurea 'Bright Star':  rose-pink, flat flower heads

for partnership ideas follow the link to Butterfly Magnets & Their Companions

EUPATORIUM

A native wildflower, this perennial sometimes called Bone-Set and Joe-Pye Weed has small and fuzzy flowers growing in round clusters in summer and fall. A moist to wet site is ideal but these perennials will tolerate drier soil, especially if it is rich in nutrients. Division on a regular basis is not required.

Eupatorium fistulosum:  Zone 4, dusty-rose

with:  Artemisia 'Silver King' & Ceratostigma plumbaginoides

FILIPENDULA

There are both tall and short Meadowsweet forms, all upright with flowers in showy clusters, sometimes described as looking like "cotton-candy". Foliage is attractive as well, even when plants are out of bloom. If your soil is evenly moist to wet, give these a try in full sun to light shade. Also perfect for pond edges.

Filipendula rubra:  Queen-of-the-Prairie

behind:  Salvia officinalis ‘Purpurascens’
in front of:  Linaria purpurea ‘Canon Went’

HEMEROCALLIS

The companions chosen for a daylily can greatly affect the garden picture you wish to create. Experiment by removing a single flower and walk with it around your garden. Hold it against other co-blooming perennials to see what matches or what clashes. Find a colour echo perhaps in a co-blooming plant. If you want the flower itself to predominate, hold it against various out-of-bloom perennials to see what will serve as a wonderful foil to make it stand out either for its colour, shape or texture. Or try it next to a mounding foliage plant that will contrast with the strappiness of the daylily foliage. The possibilities are endless and you'll soon know where to move a particular daylily for best effect when it comes time to divide for propagation. Be sure to make notes for future reference.

Some of the daylilies below are Spider and Unusual Form Daylilies. Follow the link to learn more about the beautiful cultivars available in these two classes and see images that show their amazing appearance. You will also discover how to find suppliers of these classes in your area.
