About this plant
Dicentra formosa
Type: Perennial · Family: Papaveraceae · Native Region: Pacific Northwest
What can we say? Everyone loves Bleeding Heart. Is it the abundant, adorable, and unmistakable pink blooms? The delicate lacy foliage that perfectly compliments other woodland forbs? Or the fact that it's a vigorous + unfussy shade groundcover? We think all of the above, and for that reason no moist - medium shade garden should ever be without her. Dicentra formosa does spread by a thick tunneling rhizome, and is easy to divide in winter for the benefit of other gardeners.
