I really have no idea what it is. It came from a mix of pink annuals' packet. It's not one of the ones listed on the mix, so I'm lost.
The foliage is greyish, the flowers are warmer pink than what the picture above shows.

| If the foliage is grayish, look up some pictures of pink campion. |

| It looks to me like pink gypsophilia, thought it an annual but found a link that says it's perennial. Might be Gypsophila repens 'Rosea', Pink Creeping Baby's Breath. Really pretty whatever it is. At the link scroll down to the name I gave you and click on the photo so it will show up a little larger. Also try google images for three names now. Might be this, too, Saponaria x oliviana Cushion Soapwort, both on same page alphabetically. Or the other poster could be right, but it's petals look heart-shaped. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Charming Pink Flower

| Thanks! I think it is Gypsophilia. I should have mentioned that it is tall, about 36" or better. I do like it lots, so I will be sure to save seed. |
