Gardening Tips:

Wonderful Spring Perennial

Bleeding Heart (Dicentra spectabilis) is a native to Japan and an old-fashioned favorite for many gardeners around the world.

Grown from fleshy, woody, dormant roots that are available in winter through early spring.

Flowers in late spring, with beautiful rose, pendulous, heart shaped flowers.

Plants die back and go dormant around midsummer in warm summer climates. In cool summer climates they will grow longer.

Grow up to 2 to 3 feet (.75 to 1 m) tall and as wide each season. Truly a spectacular perennial to grow.
