Dicentra

I enjoy hearing from my readers! I was amazed several years ago when I discovered that Bleeding Hearts (Dicentra spp.) come in a vine form. Not only that, but the flowers are yellow!

Unlike the Common Bleeding Heart, D. Foliage does not go summer dormant if given adequate moisture. This selection is everblooming, flowering most freely in spring and continuing throughout the summer and into fall.

It attracts butterflies, makes an excellent cut flower, and is a must in any landscape. Luxuriant is for those who love the graceful, lacy look of bleeding hearts but long for flowers that last beyond spring.

Much like the species, this variety also grows quickly to form a robust clump of deep green foliage topped with arching flower stems in late spring. They dangle romantically from the leafless stems over a period of many weeks.

It is at its best in shady ravines, under trees, and in combination with ferns, foam flower, vine maples and trillium. It makes a nice groundcover or front-of-the-border plant. With graceful, fern-like foliage, Formosa is the ballerina of native plants.

Its beautiful foliage is grey-green, finely divided and fern-like. Stuart Boothman is compact, bearing delicate pendulous clusters of rich dark-pink flowers in late spring.
