Bleeding Heart 'Luxuriant' (Dicentra 'Luxuriant') adds a splash of pink to the garden. Its foliage features shades of green, which can be highlighted among different textures. The usual flowering period is May-September. At maturity, expect 30 cm in height and 30 cm in width, making it suitable for shaded borders.
To plant Bleeding Heart 'Luxuriant', look for the following exposure: partial to full shade and suitable soil (kept moist, Clay). For Bleeding Heart 'Luxuriant', regularly check the soil around the root ball: it should remain fresh. Water at the base when the surface begins to dry and adjust watering according to rainfall; this exposure (partial to full shade) does not eliminate the need for water. A spacing of about 30 cm between centers is a starting point, to be adjusted according to observed vigor. The indicated hardiness level is zone 2, to be assessed according to your garden's conditions.
Throughout the seasons, Bleeding Heart 'Luxuriant' benefits from timely care: allow the foliage to yellow naturally and locate the crown to avoid damaging it during its dormant period. Some bleeding hearts go dormant during the summer; the disappearance of leaves does not justify saturating the soil. For companion planting, consider astilbes, tiarella, and hostas in varieties with similar needs. By composing around its 30 cm by 30 cm volume, you will preserve the visibility of its blooms (May-September) and the circulation between plants.
