Dicentra ‘Fire Cracker’


Fern-leaf Bleeding Heart

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.187.210


The various selections of Fern-leaf Bleedingheart are valued for their compact habit and long season of bloom. This new introduction forms a mound of powdery blue-grey leaves topped by clusters of flowers in a vibrant red shade. Excellent for edging and and very useful for mixed containers and tubs. Removing faded flowers regularly will promote lots of new buds to form. In cool summer regions plants may tolerate direct sun. Lightly fragrant.
