Dicentra spectabilis - Bleeding Heart

Add item to quote to see pricing

Dicentra spectabilis is better known as the "Bleeding Heart," a romantic, visually riveting perennial originating from the serene landscapes of Siberia, Northern China, Korea, and Japan. With its heart-shaped, pink, and white blossoms poised eloquently on graceful, arching stems, this plant offers late-spring splendor like no other. Its distinctive flowers contrast softly against a lush tapestry of fern-like, feathery foliage, giving an overall ethereal touch to any landscaping design. Despite reaching heights of 2-3 feet, the Bleeding Heart maintains a compact shape that fits harmoniously in shaded, moist corners of your garden. Requiring moderate watering, it is fit for cooler climates, thriving best in zones 3-9. Once the springtime spectacle recedes, this perennial elegantly phases into a summer dormancy, lending a sense of seasonal dynamism to your garden. As an addition to your landscape, the Dicentra spectabilis guarantees a blend of eye-catching design and garden-ready practicality.
