Dicentra spectabilis Old Fashioned 1 gal

The Old Fashioned Bleeding Heart (Dicentra spectabilis, also called Lamprocapnos spectabilis) is a beloved shade-loving perennial that brings romantic charm to garden beds and borders. This 1-gallon specimen features delicate, fern-like foliage and distinctive arching stems lined with heart-shaped flowers in soft pink and white.

Perfect for shaded woodland gardens, under trees, or along north-facing borders where it thrives in cool, moist soil. Plant in spring or early fall for best establishment. Reaches 24–30 inches tall and prefers well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Dies back in summer heat but returns reliably each spring—a true cottage garden classic that pairs beautifully with hostas, ferns, and shade-loving perennials.

Hardy in zones 3–9. This 1-gallon size is ready to plant and establish quickly.
