Dicentra

Dicentra is pure romance for the spring garden, loved for its arching stems hung with delicate, heart-shaped flowers that look like tiny lockets. Often called “Bleeding Heart”, it brings a soft, graceful feel to borders and shaded corners, lighting them up in spring with blooms in pinks, whites and gentle two-tones. Dicentra thrives in moisture-retentive, well-drained soil and is perfect for woodland-style planting alongside ferns, hostas and hellebores. It’s also a brilliant way to add early-season colour and elegance before summer perennials take over.
