These Perky Pink Plants Will Brighten Up Your Garden

Typically we think of plants as green and flowers as "colorful" -- pink, purple, yellow, and more. However, there are a number of plants that have pink foliage, giving them more color throughout the year. If you're looking for something that adds a bit more interest than a typical green plant, give one of these varieties a try.

Shrubs and succulents aren't the only pink options for plants. The Japanese Maple tree has delicate purple-pink leaves. Many will get brighter pink foliage in the spring and early summer. In Japanese culture, this tree symbolizes grace, beauty, and peace.
