A woodlander with 6-10" mounds of ferny foliage resembling Bleeding Heart, to which it is related…clusters of purplish-red flowers crown the leaves in April and are very showy! Culture is the same as Bleeding Heart, part shade, moist organic soil; grow with ferns, columbine, and bleeding heart…typical woodland companions.
