Bright, heart-shaped blooms rise above fern-like foliage.
The various selections of Fern-leaf Bleedingheart are valued for their compact habit and long season of bloom. This selection forms a vigorous clump of blue-green leaves, topped by clusters of delicate, dangling heart shaped flowers in a deep cerise-pink shade. Excellent for edging, and very useful for mixed containers and tubs. May be divided in fall or early spring. Removing faded flowers will promote lots of new buds to form.
