Dicentra 'Luxuriant'
Dicentra 'Luxuriant', commonly known as Fern-leaf Bleeding Heart, is an award-winning perennial prized for its tolerance to sun and heat compared to other Bleeding Hearts. It forms a tidy mound of gray-green, fern-like foliage that remains attractive for an extended season. Upright stems display heart-shaped, pinkish-red flowers from late spring, often reblooming in the fall after a summer lull. This compact plant is ideal for the garden's edge, offering reliable color and texture. It thrives with consistent moisture and is generally trouble-free, making it a sturdy, delicate-looking addition to woodland or perennial borders.
