Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Dicentra spectabilis 'Valentine' is a red form of the classic cottage garden favourite with flowers that are so dark pink they border on true red! These heart-shaped flowers hang from arching stems over vigorous growth of deeply dark grey/green lobed foliage that is flushed with burgundy when young. Blooms for ages in the spring garden. May go dormant in summer if soils are dry.

The latest addition to this small family, these true red bleeding hearts extend the color palette in what has previously been a pastel group. Plant with Astilbe Younique White or Silver Pink for continued color through the growing season. The astilbes come into their own as the bleeding hearts wind down and go dormant through the hot summer months.
