Here are some recommendations for those who love PINK flowers:
Helleborus: Though buried under snow, hellebores survive to push flowers up through the last vestiges of winter’s grasp to bloom in shades of white, yellow, purple, red or pink. Models of ruggedness and determination, hellebores (Helleborus spp.) are stars when few other plants are flowering in northern gardens. The blooms of these easy-care perennials are either solid colors or have center highlights, speckles, or intricate streaks. The flowers are really sepals, which is the reason for their long flowering time—some last as long as three months. Hellebores make excellent specimen plants, as well as groundcovers under deciduous shrubs, conifers and evergreens. Plant them, leave them and watch them emerge through late winter’s melting snow.
Care:
Sempervivum
Also called common houseleek or hens and chicks, Sempervivum (Sempervivum tectorum) is a mat-forming succulent that produce rosettes of juicy leaves that may be covered by white hair. The large parent rosette is the “hen,” while the offshoots are the “chicks.” Like many cacti and succulents, sempervivum needs little maintenance once established.
Often used by florists, ‘Star Gazer’ lily has bright crimson flowers with purple spots and dark edges. These lilies grow to about 3 feet tall, so they generally don’t need staking, vigorous growth, strong stems, upward facing flowers, very fragrant and are good in containers or borders.
