Dicentra ‘Cupid’ bleeding hearts in 2 Gallon Pot

Description

Dicentra ‘Cupid’ is an enchanting variety of bleeding heart, celebrated for its delicate and heart-shaped flowers that dangle gracefully from arching stems. These exquisite blooms are a soft pink color, with a drop-like extension at the bottom, creating a visual effect reminiscent of a heart. The foliage of ‘Cupid’ is equally attractive, featuring a bluish-green color that forms a compact, bushy mound beneath the flower stems.

This low maintenance perennial plant is a perfect addition to shade gardens, woodland settings, or as an understory plant in dappled light areas. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers cool, shaded environments, making it an ideal choice for adding color and texture to shaded garden spots.

Dicentra ‘Cupid’ typically blooms in late spring to early summer, offering a burst of color when many other shade-loving plants are just beginning to grow. Its compact growth habit makes it suitable for small gardens or container planting, allowing even those with limited space to enjoy its beauty.
