Short and Sweet Wild Pinks 1 Live Perennial, 1 Gallon Pot – Silene ‘Short and Sweet’

Short and Sweet Wild Pinks (Silene ‘Short and Sweet’) is a compact flowering perennial admired for its cheerful pink blossoms, fine-textured green foliage, and low-growing habit. Often referred to as catchfly or wild pinks, this ornamental selection adds color to sunny garden borders, rock gardens, cottage-style landscapes, and decorative outdoor containers.

During its flowering season, Short and Sweet Wild Pinks produces bright pink, five-petaled flowers above a tidy mound of green foliage. The blossoms provide attractive seasonal color and may draw visiting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Its compact growth makes it useful near the front of perennial borders, along garden pathways, and in smaller planting spaces.

Short and Sweet Wild Pinks performs best in full sun to light partial shade and well-drained soil. It prefers moderate moisture during establishment and generally benefits from avoiding prolonged waterlogged conditions. Its naturally compact form is suitable for rock gardens, sunny perennial beds, and patio containers with adequate drainage. Depending on local climate, foliage may persist through mild winters or become dormant during colder weather.
