Available Spring 2024

Description

Dicentra spectabilis, or Bleeding Heart, (also known as Lamprocapnos spectabilis) is a timeless classic for shade gardens. 'Gold Heart' has lovely chartreuse foliage and delicate pink and white blooms that emerge in early spring.

Bees and hummingbirds love the heart-shaped flowers, while deer and rabbits tend to avoid the plant entirely.

Bleeding Heart goes dormant each year starting in the summer, so it's best planted next to other perennials or annuals that will hide the bare spot it leaves. In warmer climates, Bleeding Hearts need to be planted in a cool, well-shaded area.

Dicentra spectabilis 'Gold Heart' Bleeding Heart is great for pressed flowers, and as a gift for gardeners on Valentine's or Mother's Day.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
