Dicentra Valentine

This plant prefers part shade to full shade. It performs best when protected from the harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch its delicate foliage.

As the flowers fade, the plant produces bright green leaves with purple streaks. You should leave this foliage in place until it naturally yellows and dies back, as the leaves are gathering energy for next year's growth.

Dicentra Valentine is hardy in zones 3 through 9, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of climates. It is a vigorous perennial that returns reliably each spring.

Bareroot plants are shipped while dormant, without soil around the roots. This is a standard, healthy way to ship perennials, as it allows the plant to establish itself directly in your garden soil immediately upon planting.

Yes, the unique, dangling heart-shaped blooms are a favorite of hummingbirds. Their shape and color make them an excellent nectar source for these birds in late spring.

Since this plant reaches a mature size of 2.5 feet in both height and width, you should space them at least 30 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and growth.
