Dicentra (Bleeding Hearts)

We have a nice selection of Bleeding Hearts, otherwise known as dicentra (not to be confused with Clerodendrum's alternative name "Bleeding Hearts Vine"). One of the most popular of old-fashioned perennial garden plants, Bleeding Hearts burst into flower in late spring.

The plants form a bushy, upright mound of dainty light green foliage that appears to be somewhat fern-like at a glance.  Dangling lockets of flowers are held on arching stems and make excellent cut flowers.  Try venturing away from the conventional light pink varieties and grow dicentra "Goldheart", or a miniature variety like "King of Hearts" in your shaded garden bed!
