Dicentra spectabilis 'Valentine'

Dicentra 'Valentine,' also known as Bleeding Heart, is an exceptional variety. Its scarlet, heart-shaped blooms cascade from complementary, arching red stems. From the moment the plum-coloured shoots push through the soil in spring, it will be the hero of your spring border. The gentle ferny foliage matures to a magnificent, deep grey-green, providing the ideal background for its graceful blooms. This lovely, sturdy perennial grows well in damp borders and woodland gardens, but it also looks lovely splattering over the edges of a shady patio container. Height: 75cm (30). Spread: 60cm (24).
