Dicentra spectabilis ‘Gold Heart’
common name Bleeding Heart hardy in zones 3-8 May bloom I had this for years, maintaining itself from self-seeding (only some seedlings are true to type) even when the parent plant died. Unfortunately I lost it completely some time back, so replaced it in 2020. It blooms better when not in full shade. |
