Experience the epitome of elegance in your garden with the charming and graceful Dicentra spectabilis, commonly known as Bleeding Heart. Celebrated for its captivating arching stems adorned with heart-shaped pink and white flowers, this classic perennial infuses a touch of romance into shady borders and woodland gardens. Its delicate green foliage provides an attractive backdrop, transitioning gracefully as the plant goes dormant in mid-summer after a vibrant 4-6-week bloom from late spring to early summer.

Renowned for its outstanding qualities, Bleeding Heart can grow up to 30-36 inches in height and width and thrives in part shade, favoring fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soils. Tolerant of full shade, although moderate sun exposure enhances flowering, it adapts beautifully in cooler climates. Pair it with hostas, astilbes, and ferns to fill the spaces left as its foliage wanes.

Easy to cultivate and deer-resistant, Bleeding Heart requires minimal care. Dicentra spectabilis consistently enchants while standing resilient against pests and environmental challenges. Add this garden classic, recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, to your collection and enjoy its timeless beauty year after year.
