Description
Common name: Fern Leaf Bleeding Heart
You’ve never seen flowers so red on a Dicentra until you’ve seen ‘Burning Hearts’. The contrast between the blue-gray, ferny foliage and bright rose red, heart-shaped flowers is striking. This plant forms a compact mound of foliage topped with arched flowering stems from late spring into early fall.
It looks beautiful as a specimen in containers but could also be incorporated into the front of the border or along pathways. According to Paul Pilon of Perennial Solutions, the compact height and early flowering capability makes this plant suitable for production as a spring flowering perennial, containerized plant, or even as an indoor flowering house plant.
