Dicentra sp. Valentine® #1

This is an Old Fashioned Bleeding Heart that's really red. It is a vigorous plant with plum-green foliage and dark red stems, growing best in full to part shade, 24-30 inches tall and wide. Very hardy to Zone 3.

After putting on this fantastic display, Old-Fashioned Bleeding Hearts usually go dormant until the following spring. However, if plants are kept well-watered during the spring, dormancy may be delayed until late summer or early fall. Other bushy perennials, such as Hosta, Geranium, or Sedge, should be planted nearby to fill in the resulting gaps.
