Bleeding Heart Candy Hearts, Dicentra 'Candy Hearts' PP14,692, is part of a new generation of bleeding hearts that are nothing like your grandma's old fashioned bleeding hearts. This exceptional, dwarf variety blooms from mid spring until a hard frost! The pendulous flowers accent the lacy, blue grey foliage and are shaped like cute little rose pink hearts. Dicentra 'Candy Hearts' remains compact and attractive all season long! A delicate fragrance is an added bonus for the senses! Dicentra is perfect for a border or patio container, and will thrive in a partially shaded spot. This really is a shade lover, delighting in full to part shade conditions. The taller plant will perform in the full sun but will tend to disappear in mid summer when it has all the sun it can handle. It usually pops back up the following spring. This is a plant for fertile but well drained soils. Prefers consistently moist, humus rich soils similar to a great woodland soil full of organic matter and richly fertile. The simplest way to mimic this is to add several shovels of compost around the base of the plant every spring.
