Wild Bleeding Heart (Dicentra eximia)
Wild Bleeding Heart (Dicentra eximia) is a hardy, native perennial known for its delicate, rose-pink, heart-shaped flowers that bloom over finely divided, fern-like blue-green foliage. Blooming from spring through fall, this long-blooming variety thrives in shaded woodland gardens, borders, and naturalized areas.
