Description
A show-stopping new Bleeding Heart that bears deep red flowers over lovely, highly-disected blue foliage. Amazing contrast between blooms and leaves. Small variety only reaching 10" at maturity. Great for the front of the border center-piece.
Care
Transplant in well-drained soil taking care to match existing soil line with the new soil line. Dicentras thrive in well-drained moist soils with plenty of humus. Overly wet soil and standing water can lead to crown-rot. Bleeding hearts are quite drought-resistant once established, but will go dormant in summer if not provided enough moisture. They will bloom continually (March through September) if spent flowers are removed.
