Mix Pinks are a delightful and colorful collection of hardy perennials that bring old-fashioned charm and a long season of fragrant blooms to the garden. This mix produces a charming variety of single, fringed flowers in a cheerful spectrum of colors, often including shades of pink, red, white, and bicolors. The blooms rise above neat, cushion-forming mounds of slender, gray-green foliage. Beloved for their clove-like scent and their ability to attract butterflies, they are perfect for edging paths, planting in cottage gardens, or adding pops of color to rockeries and containers.

Cheerful Mix of Fringed Blooms: Offers a diverse and vibrant display of single, five-petaled flowers with characteristic fringed or notched edges in a range of colors.
Sweet, Spicy Fragrance: The flowers emit a classic, pleasant clove-like scent, especially noticeable on warm, sunny days.
Compact, Mounding Habit: Forms tidy, low clumps of attractive, bluish-gray foliage that remains evergreen in mild climates, providing good ground cover.
Long Blooming & Repeat Flowering: Blooms heavily from late spring into summer. Deadheading spent flowers reliably encourages a second flush of blooms later in the season.
Excellent for Edging & Cutting: Their uniform height and prolific blooming make them ideal for garden borders. The fragrant, long-stemmed blooms are also lovely in small, informal bouquets.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: How do I get them to rebloom?
A: Regular deadheading is the key. As soon as a flower cluster fades, cut the entire flower stem back to the base of the foliage. This prevents seed formation and directs the plant's energy into producing new flower buds for a second show.

Q: What growing conditions do they prefer?
A: They thrive in full sun and well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Good drainage is critical to prevent crown rot. They are drought-tolerant once established but appreciate occasional deep watering during prolonged dry spells. Avoid overhead watering to keep foliage dry.
