How this list is made
Derived from each plant's flower color tags and bloom colors, as stored in the BloomsEye library, which was written with AI assistance. Of these 824 plants, 679 have been checked against outside sources (30 fully verified); the rest have not been checked yet, and each plant's own page says which. The cards are AI-generated illustrations.
Pink is the default setting of ornamental gardening: 824 plants here carry some shade of it, more than any other color by a wide margin. That is exactly the difficulty. Pink is easy to end up with by accident, and it varies more than any other color on this list, so two pinks can clash far worse than pink and orange ever would. Coral and salmon carry yellow, magenta and cerise carry blue, and a bed holding both looks unresolved without anyone being able to say why. The fix is not to choose between them but to put something between them: gray foliage, or a mass of white. A pink border is built on exactly that.

Pink flowers by season
A plant is counted in every season it flowers in, so a long-flowering one appears in more than one. The named picks are the plants whose whole flowering sits in that season, not the ones that only pass through it.

Pink flowers by height
Mature height, in the three bands a border is planted in. Anything over 10 ft is structure rather than a border plant, and a climber is sized by whatever it is growing up, so both sit this out.
