Valentine Bleeding Heart
Dicentra spectabilis 'Valentine'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Papaveraceae

These blossoms cover silvery plum-colored stems and dangle over the dark green foliage below that is, at times, tinged with purple.
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.
