Amore Rose Bleeding Heart

Dicentra 'Amore Rose'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Papaveraceae
Plant Description: This blooms for a longer period than the traditional Bleeding Heart. Lovely rose-pink hearts bloom on top of slim stems. Blooming late spring and lasting through summer, this is great for adding color in the shade. The lacey blue-green foliage will also give interest in the landscape.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
