Dicentra ‘Love Hearts’


Fern-leaf Bleedingheart

 USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.187.090


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. USPPP: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
