OnlinePlantCenter 1 gal. King Of Hearts Fern Leaf Bleeding Heart Plant

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Long-lived, 8-10 in. tall x 12 in. wide, clumping perennial with coarse, lacy, soft gray-green leaves, but best known for its profusion of distinctive, large rose red, heart-shaped flowers that appear in late spring and repeat bloom until fall, if deadheaded. Plant does not go dormant in mid-summer, as long as soil is kept moist. Evenly moist, well drained, richly organic, loose soil is best; heavy clay soil is not ideal and will need to be amended at planting time with lots of compost, humus, or peat moss to promote water retention. Plant in part sun to shade in a protected location away from high winds and early frosts; north or east sides of building or on edge of woodlands are ideal. No need to cut back; stems are self-cleaning. Flowers will not develop without winter cold. Plants rarely need division; moving them may break brittle roots. Pair with coral bells, foam flower, monkshead, turtlehead, dropwort, astilbe, and hosta.
