Dicentra 'Valentine'

Dicentra Valentine, commonly known as Bleeding Heart Valentine, is a captivating perennial that brings a touch of romance to gardens with its arching stems and vivid red and white heart-shaped flowers. The deeply cut foliage emerges in a striking pinkish-red hue, maturing to green by early summer, providing a dynamic backdrop for its elegant blooms. This clump-forming plant is an excellent choice for borders, woodland gardens, and shaded areas, adding both colour and graceful form to outdoor spaces.

Thriving in moist, fertile, humus-rich soil, Dicentra Valentine prefers partial shade but can tolerate sunnier spots if the soil remains reliably moist. Blooming in late spring, it complements other shade-loving plants, enhancing the seasonal palette. This hardy perennial is a low-maintenance addition to various garden settings, offering reliable performance year after year.

Ideal for gardeners seeking unique and elegant spring colour, Dicentra Valentine can be grown in shaded borders or woodland gardens. The vibrant red and white flowers are not only visually appealing but also attract pollinators, supporting local biodiversity. Additionally, the blooms make excellent cut flowers, allowing you to bring their beauty indoors.
