Dicentra ‘Pink Diamonds’, also known as Bleeding Heart, is a captivating perennial that brings grace and charm to any garden. This elegant plant is known for its arching stems adorned with delicate, heart-shaped pink flowers that dangle like jewels from late spring through early summer. Complementing the blooms are its finely cut, fern-like foliage in a soft green hue, adding texture and visual interest even after the flowering season.
For optimal growth, plant Dicentra ‘Pink Diamonds’ in a partially shaded to fully shaded position with well-drained, moist soil. It thrives in cooler, sheltered locations, making it ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or underplanting larger shrubs. The plant reaches a height and spread of about 60 cm (24 inches), making it perfect for adding a touch of elegance to smaller garden spaces.
Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and an abundance of flowers. Pruning is minimal; simply remove spent flowers and any yellowing leaves to keep the plant looking tidy and to encourage a second flush of blooms later in the season.
Dicentra ‘Pink Diamonds’ is particularly beneficial for pollinators, attracting bees and other insects with its nectar-rich flowers. This low-maintenance perennial not only enhances the beauty of your garden but also supports local wildlife, making it a valuable addition to any garden setting.
