Dicentra 'Luxuriant' (Bleeding heart)

Dicentra ‘Luxuriant’ is a fern‑leaf bleeding heart that forms a neat clump of finely divided foliage, then sends up arching stems of dangling blooms from late spring. It’s a lovely choice for softening paths, edges of borders, and the front of woodland‑style planting.

Plant in moist, humus‑rich soil that won’t bake dry in summer. Partial shade is ideal, though it can cope with sunnier positions if the ground stays evenly moist. Tuck it between hostas, ferns and heucheras, or use it as a gentle underplanting beneath shrubs.

Set plants at the same depth they were growing and water well to settle the roots. Mulch in spring to conserve moisture and keep the soil cool. If flowering slows, a light trim and regular watering can encourage a fresh flush of growth.

The flowers are a rich cherry tone that reads as pink‑red in the garden, bringing a warm accent without overpowering neighbours. It also mixes beautifully with blues and silvers, and the airy stems give movement even when planted in drifts.

You’ll receive one plant in the stated grade, ready for seasonal dispatch. Give it time to establish, and you’ll be rewarded with reliable spring‑to‑summer colour and attractive foliage that keeps borders looking full and finished.
