Meadow Pinks




Member of Gentain FamilyBlooms: March - July
These plants like dry or moist sandy soils in prairies, pastures, cedar-oak flats and edges of woodlands.

They usually form large colonies and are quite spectacular. They sometimes look like a bright pink ribbon for miles on the roadsides. They are self-seeding and do well in gardens. To plant seeds, early fall place seeds in raked soil and do not cover.
"I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"
John 11: 25-26
