Pink Diamonds Bleeding Heart — Dicentra 'Pink Diamonds'
Pink Diamonds Bleeding Heart (Dicentra 'Pink Diamonds') is a refined, long-blooming shade perennial that brings charm, delicacy, and enduring elegance to shaded garden spaces with its distinctive two-toned pink, heart-shaped flowers and beautiful fern-like foliage. From late spring through summer, long, gracefully nodding stems are adorned with a succession of rich pink hearts — each bloom an inner shade of deep rose and an outer shade of soft pink — creating a captivating, romantic effect. The deeply cut, soft blue-green leaves beautifully complement the flowers and remain an attractive foliage feature even after the bloom season ends. A compact, well-behaved perennial that thrives in part shade with consistently moist, rich, well-drained acidic soils. Unlike old-fashioned bleeding hearts, Pink Diamonds holds its foliage through the full growing season. Hardy to Zone 3.
