Product Information
Dicentra spectabilis (synonyms Lamprocapnos spectabilis), commonly known as Bleeding Heart, is a graceful and charming clump-forming perennial standing around 1m tall, producing a mound of fleshy divided, mid-green leaves, growing up to 40cm long, with cut or lobed leaflets. Heart-shaped, rose-red, purple-pink or white flowers hang from arching succulent stems in late spring or early summer. As the plant matures, the foliage tends to die back and go dormant after flowering, making it important to plant companion perennials that can fill in the gap left by the fading foliage.
- Great addition for early season colour
- Perfect woodland and shade plant
- A captivating perennial plant
Additional Information
Bleeding hearts prefer partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. While they can tolerate some morning sun, they typically prefer cooler, shadier conditions. Remove spent flowers to encourage repeat flowering.
