This perennial is a fantastic plant for shady to partially shady areas in your garden where you want to add bunches of bright pink flowers in early to mid-spring. It will thrive in the spots too shady for spring-flowering bulbs. The thick, dark green, glossy, deeply veined leaves make it a great foliage plant after the blooms have faded. Miss Piggy Pigsqueak will be 16 to 18 inches tall with a 28-to-32-inch spread. Grow this perennial in USDA hardiness zones 4 through 9.
This salt-tolerant plant attracts bees and butterflies. It’s deer and rabbit resistant. Include Miss Piggy Pigsqueak in your border gardens, as an edging plant along walkways and fences, or in mass plantings as a ground cover plant. It will take on the thriller role in a container garden. Cut a few flowers from this upright growing plant and bring them indoors to create a lovely bouquet.
Miss Piggy Pigsqueak Care
This easy to care for plant will perform best in part shade, but can handle any sun exposure. We recommend providing some afternoon shade in southern gardens. The soil needs to drain well but can be almost any pH level. Water regularly, but allow the dirt to dry completely between watering.
Add a layer of mulch to the base of the plant in the spring or fall to help protect the roots and keep the soil moist. The mulch will also add nutrients to the soil naturally as well. You can add a slow release fertilizer in the early spring but it is not required.
Miss Piggy Pigsqueak Spacing
Space plants 28 to 32 inches apart to give them room to spread and grow to mature size with proper air circulation and sunlight.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
