Description
Dicentra 'Pink Diamonds', commonly known as Fern-Leaf Bleeding Heart, is a herbaceous perennial valued for its pink w or white tips flowers during summer. It typically matures 0.75–1.5 feet tall and 0.75–1.5 feet wide. Grow it in partial to deep shade in moist, well-drained garden soil. Its native range or documented parentage is North America and Asia. Its flowers can provide seasonal forage for bees and other beneficial insects. In the landscape, it works well in border, walkways, and woodland. Once established, it shows useful tolerance to deer, heavy shade, and rabbits.
Benefits
Softens shade with layered texture where flowers are not the main event. Creates an early-season lift after winter with fresh color and growth. Supports a more active, living garden with flowers that pollinators can use. A better candidate for landscapes with deer pressure than more browse-prone plants.
