Rosepink displays striking single pink flowers approximately 1 inch in diameter with a distinctive greenish-yellow, star-shaped center. The blooms exhibit five petals and are borne on an opposite branching structure. Following flowering, rosepink produces 1/3 inch long seed capsules filled with minute seeds, which are readily dispersed by the wind. The leaves of rosepink are opposite, egg-shaped, and measure between 0.7 to 1.5 inches long with a unique heart-shaped clasping base at the stem. Rosepink tends to form dense colonies that appear perennial, offering a generous display of color annually.
