Good reception of the order and good speed. Very beautiful young plants except for the red vine-plant received weak and very very small. I doubt its survival....

Description

Dicentra Burning Hearts is a compact perennial with finely cut blue-greyish-green foliage and pendulous blood-red, heart-shaped flowers edged with white.

Dicentra Burning Hearts reaches a height of 40 cm (16in) and thrives in understory environments. It easily grows under deciduous trees with moist soil in spring. The rapid growth of this bleeding heart allows it to spread 40 cm (16in) in all directions within two years. 'Burning Hearts' Bleeding Heart spreads through running rhizomes, allowing it to naturalize under favourable conditions. It can be paired with other perennials that can withstand competition from tree or bush roots. Pair it with Solomon's Seal, hardy Fuchsias, creeping Bugleweed, Japanese Anemones, Balkan Digitalis, and a carpet of periwinkle.

'Burning Hearts' Bleeding Heart belongs to the Papaveraceae (Fumariaceae) family. It is a hybrid resulting from cross-breeding between Dicentra eximia and Dicentra peregrina. Its first parent is native to the eastern United States, while the second is from Japan, the Kuril Islands, Sakhalin, and northern Siberia, including the Kamchatka Peninsula.

Most bleeding hearts go dormant at the end of spring, but this does not have any negative effects on the plant.

Decentra 'Burning Hearts' is a delicate plant to cultivate, and its success will be a challenge, even for the most experienced gardeners.
