Description
Bleeding Heart is a charming perennial that brings a romantic touch to shaded gardens in Massachusetts. Its delicate, nodding pink, heart-shaped flowers bloom from mid-spring to mid-summer, creating an eye-catching display. The fern-like, blue-green foliage provides beautiful contrast and remains attractive throughout the growing season. Perfect for borders, rock gardens, and shaded beds, this perennial thrives in rich, well-drained soil.
Ideal for partial to full shade, Bleeding Heart prefers consistent moisture and benefits from mulching to retain soil moisture. This low-maintenance plant grows up to 12 inches tall with a spread of 18 inches, making it an excellent choice for mass plantings or container gardens. Resistant to deer but attractive to butterflies, it pairs well with late-season bloomers to keep the garden vibrant as it goes dormant in summer.
