About Rosepink
Rosepink is a breathtaking biennial wildflower that earns its name with a profusion of vibrant, star-shaped pink blossoms. Each flower features a distinct yellow-green center, creating a stunning contrast against the plant's square stems and heart-shaped, clasping leaves. Reaching about 1 to 3 feet in height, Rosepink blooms generously from July through September, filling the air with a faint, sweet fragrance. Native to the eastern half of the United States, it is often found in moist prairies, meadows, and open woodlands. This species is a magnet for pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies drawn to its abundant nectar. Rosepink prefers full to partial sun and moist, well-drained soils. As a biennial, it spends its first year as a low-growing rosette before bolting into bloom the following year. Allowing the plant to self-seed will ensure a delightful return of these rosy stars in subsequent seasons.
