Totally different than the old fashioned bleeding hearts. For one thing it is very short and compact, allowing the heart flowers to peek out above the foliage. The foliage, almost blue and fern-like is another big difference. The best difference is it blooms all summer and into the fall. The romantic heart-shaped flowers are still the same only in a very dark red. WOW!

Combine with Anemone sylvestris, Ajuga 'Black Scallop' or any of the early spring bulbs.

Finely cut, fernlike green foliage cozy up to the bright pink traditional heart shaped flowers. The flowers are the only traditional part of these new lines of Dicentra. For one thing, they bloom continuously all summer plus its hearts are held clear of foliage, not hidden. Combine with early spring minor bulbs, Hosta 'Blue Angel' or Primula hirsuta.
