Description
White Bleeding Heart is a graceful perennial that thrives in Massachusetts gardens, producing arching stems of delicate white, heart-shaped flowers from late spring to early summer. Its fern-like, light green foliage forms a lush mound, adding soft texture to shaded landscapes. This shade-loving plant is perfect for woodland gardens, borders, or cutting gardens. After blooming, it naturally goes dormant in summer, making it ideal for pairing with late-season plants to maintain visual interest.
Reaching up to 32 inches tall and spreading 3 feet wide, White Bleeding Heart prefers partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soil. Hardy to zone 1b, it withstands cold New England winters with ease. This low-maintenance perennial attracts butterflies while being deer-resistant, making it a reliable addition to any shaded garden. Cutting back spent foliage in fall helps ensure healthy growth each spring.
Each plant comes in a #1 (1 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
