Dicentra formosa ‘Sulphur Hearts’ | Sulphur Hearts Bleeding Heart

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Dicentra formosa ‘Sulphur Hearts’ produces graceful sprays of heart-shaped flowers in soft sulphur yellow, accented by rosy pink inner petals that extend below each bloom. The flowers dangle from gently arching stems above finely divided blue-green foliage, creating an airy, fernlike texture that remains attractive through the growing season.

Blooming from mid-spring into early summer, this cultivar originates from a selected form of the western North American species. It performs beautifully in woodland gardens, shaded borders, and naturalized plantings, where the luminous flowers mingle easily with spring bulbs and ferns, bringing gentle color and movement to cool, sheltered landscapes.
