Fernleaf Bleeding Heart

Dicentra formosa 'Bacchanal'

Dark-red, heart-shaped blooms rise above fern-like foliage.

The various selections of fernleaf bleeding heart are valued for their compact habit and long season of bloom. This selection forms a vigorous clump of grey-green leaves, topped by clusters of delicate, dangling white heart-shaped flowers. Excellent for edging, and very useful in mixed containers and tubs. May be divided in fall or early spring. Removing faded flowers regularly will promote lots of new buds to form.
