Dicentra eximia 'Amore™ Rose' (PP25,623)
Dicentra are classics in the perennial border. Pleasing groundcover in moist, shady areas. D. eximia can tolerate more sun than traditional Bleeding Hearts, but consistent moisture will ensure a long bloom period. Spring shipping only.
Likes high-organic, well-drained soil. After all flowers fade on flowerscapes, cut flower stems down to basal foliage-this can prolong bloom into fall. Can cut back for the winter after a killing frost.
Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
We use custom, earth-friendly packaging to make sure your order arrives in great condition, and we ship based on the best planting time for your growing zone (see the approximate dates below), unless otherwise indicated at checkout. If you wish, you can indicate a specific ship date during checkout.
