Fern-leaf Bleedingheart |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |

The various selections of Fern-leaf Bleedingheart are valued for their compact habit and long season of bloom. This selection is the picture of elegance forming a vigorous clump of blue-green leaves, topped by clusters of delicate, dangling heart shaped flowers in pure white that are tinged with purple-pink. Excellent for edging, and very useful for mixed containers and tubs. May be divided in fall or early spring. Removing faded flowers will promote lots of new buds to form.
