Bleeding Heart (Dicentra spectabilis) is a classic garden perennial known for its graceful, arching stems lined with soft pink, heart-shaped flowers. Blooming in spring, it brings a romantic, cottage-style feel to shaded garden spaces. It thrives in partially shaded areas with rich, well-drained soil and consistent moisture, making it well suited to protected spots in Gabriola gardens. Sold in small pots as a starter plant—best planted in the ground or a larger container to flourish.

Note: This plant naturally goes dormant in the heat of summer and will return the following spring.
