Pink flowers for shade do exist, and their color will brighten shady corners of your garden, entryway, covered porch or balcony. Flowers that love shade include begonias (pictured above), primrose, astilbe and lenten rose. Lenten rose, known also as hellebores, typically bloom the earliest of all flowers. Some varieties are speckled so you could try white with pink for a change of pace.

Check out coral bells with pink tones for a unique accent plant in your outdoor space. Some pink varieties turn a showy purple toward the end of the season. Coral bells combine well with hosta varieties. Read about other combos for shade.

Bring the beauty of your outdoor space indoors with a cutting garden.

Some of the best flowers for cutting include peonies (pictured above), dahlias, zinnias, ranunculus and of course, roses. Get information on rose varieties and ideas for roses in small spaces.

Besides roses and some varieties of peonies, other pink flowers that deliver fragrance include dianthus, garden phlox, hyacinth and sweet alyssum.

Try Oriental lilies (pictured above) for a dramatic look with plenty of fragrance in your space.

If you are space or time-challenged or prefer to garden in planters, then contain your pink flowers. Urns and hanging baskets look fabulous spilling over with pink petunias such as Proven Winners’ ‘Bubblegum’ Supertunias (seen above) on your patio, balcony or porch.

You could also mix petunias with yellow coreopsis for a pretty combination. Pretty pink geraniums would work well with petunias and caladiums in containers.

Some flowers just do well no matter where they land in your space. Such pink flowers include coneflowers, asters, cleome or gaillardia varieties, cosmos and daylilies.

Don’t forget that some shrubs such as azaleas or rose of Sharon also come with pink flowers and these can complement the other touches of pink in your outdoor space. Learn more about drought-resistant and low-maintenance flowers.
