Bleeding Heart, Dutchman's Trousers

Dicentra spectabilis
Pink

Old fashioned bleeding heart blooms from late spring to early summer. This perennial prefers partial shade and adequate moisture during the summer period. If well watered, the foliage remains attractive well into the fall. If rainfall is light or soil dries out the foliage yellows and disappears by mid-June and the plants go dormant for the summer. A filler plant should be used to cover the bare spot left behind. This is an excellent perennial for the shade border where soils are moist but well-drained.

Danger: All parts of plant are poisonous if ingested
