Notes
Rosepink (Sabatia angularis) is an annual for pollinator gardens, woodland edges, and meadows. This plant likes full sun to part shade and moist, sandy soil. It grows up to 30 inches tall and branches heavily in the upper half. Starlike pink flowers about 1 inch across open in early to late summer, and each has a yellowish eye bordered by a red line. The fragrant blooms attract bees.
Pairs well with Northwind switchgrass, Sundrops, and Hardy hibiscus.
