Dicentra 'Luxuriant' (Bleeding Heart) – Hardy Perennial (2L Pot)

Dicentra 'Luxuriant' hangs its cherry red, heart shaped flowers along arching stems from late spring right through to autumn.

It is the ferny sort of bleeding heart rather than the tall one. The finely divided blue-green leaves make a low, tidy clump that holds together all season and spreads slowly into good ground cover, and the flowering season is far longer than most bleeding hearts manage.

It is at its best in partial shade in soil that stays moist and has plenty of leaf mould or compost worked into it, which makes it a genuine answer to a shady border, the edge of a woodland planting or a pot on a shaded patio. Water it in dry spells, mulch in spring, and lift and divide congested clumps every few years. Bleeding heart is harmful if eaten and the sap can irritate skin. It arrives as an established plant in a 2L pot.
