Dicentra 'King of Hearts'


I am trying to figure out why I haven't posted a photo of this yet. This is THE best strain of Pacific bleeding heart there is; an award winner. Like their bigger cousins it is impossible to get a good photo of one. They form amazing mounds of grey-green ferny foliage and they bloom ALL spring and summer with stems of rosy-red flowers (unlike the old-fashioned types). They make for a great groundcover, reaching a foot in height and 2 in width.
