How about this Phlox paniculata Thai Pink Jade?


Close up it's a light pink with darker pink centers that can read as soft pink.

Bright eyes is similar.


And I'm sure I've seen at least one or two other phlox. Also some verbena.

This Pentas might fill the bill: Sunstar® Pink Egyptian Star Flower


Oh, and a snapdragon or two, maybe?


Also, if a shrub would work, you have a pink Rose of Sharon or two. Pink Chiffon is one. And Sugar Tip has the added feature of variegated foliage.


Hard to think exactly what they were at the moment, but I'm sure I've seen lots of other soft pink flowers. Best of luck to you in your search.

Have you posted/can you post some pix of your garden?
