Growing Requirements
  • Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade. Full sun yields the densest flower counts.
  • Soil: Rich, fertile, moist, and well-drained soil. It handles clay, loam, and sandy soils well.
  • Watering: Requires regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist; it does not tolerate standing water or drought
Garden Uses
Due to its naturally rounded, mounded shape, 'Famous Pink' is perfect for:
  • Front borders or small garden beds.
  • Patio containers and urban courtyards.
  • Cottage gardens and wildlife-friendly planting schemes.
  • Cut flowers, thanks to its rigid, upright stems
Maintenance Tips
To get the most out of your plant, lightly shear the stems after the first flush of flowers to encourage a second wave of blooms. Clear away old foliage in late autumn or winter to maintain excellent air circulation and prevent any potential mildew issues for the next season.
