Bleeding hearts get their name from their long, arching stems of delicate, heart-shaped, pendulant flowers. Dicentras tend to grow in attractive, clumping habit, creating a delightful fairytale feel in woodland settings. Valentine Bleeding Heart is an old-fashioned Dicentra well-loved for its romantic red color. Along with its racemes, Valentine Dicentra boasts attractive, dark-green foliage that fills out well throughout the growing season. That foliage begins the season with a slight tinge of purple when it emerges in spring.
