Amore Pink Bleeding Heart (Dicentra 'Amore Pink')

Amore Pink Bleeding Heart (Dicentra 'Amore Pink') is a compact, long blooming woodland perennial celebrated for its profusion of soft rose pink, heart shaped flowers and finely cut blue green foliage. Unlike classic spring only types, this modern selection flowers in waves from late spring well into fall in cool, evenly moist conditions, forming a neat clump that brightens shaded borders, woodland edges, and containers with romantic color and graceful texture.

Distinctive Features

Arching sprays of small, rosy pink hearts rise continuously above lacy, fern like leaves, creating a delicate yet durable display; the tidy, mounded habit resists summer slump better than old fashioned bleeding hearts and keeps borders looking fresh through the season.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun Exposure: Partial shade to shade; morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal.
  • Soil: Rich, well drained, humus amended soil that retains consistent moisture.
  • Water: Moderate; keep evenly moist, never waterlogged, especially during active bloom.
  • USDA Hardiness Zones: 5 to 9.
  • Mature Size: About 10 to 14 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide.
  • Bloom Time: Late spring through fall in cool climates; slows in extreme heat, then resumes.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Continuous pink hearts create a romantic highlight in shade.
  • Woodland Gardens: Pairs beautifully with hosta, heuchera, brunnera, and ferns.
  • Shaded Borders: Soft texture and steady color unify mixed plantings.
  • Containers: Compact habit performs well in patio pots in dappled light.
  • Cottage Gardens: Classic charm with modern, extended flowering.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Water regularly during dry spells; mulch lightly to conserve moisture and cool roots.
  • Pruning: Snip spent stems to encourage new buds and maintain a tidy mound.
  • Fertilizing: Top dress with compost in spring; use a balanced, slow release fertilizer if soils are lean.
  • Grooming: Remove any heat tired leaves in midsummer; fresh growth follows as temperatures ease.
  • Division: Divide clumps in early spring or fall if vigor declines.

Why Choose Amore Pink Bleeding Heart?

  • Extended Flowering: Blooms far beyond spring for months of color in shade.
  • Compact and Tidy: Mounded habit fits borders and containers without flopping.
  • Refined Texture: Lacy foliage adds elegance even between bloom cycles.
  • Shade Solution: Thrives where sun lovers struggle, enhancing difficult sites.
  • Easy Care: Reliable, low fuss performance with simple moisture and mulch.

Dicentra 'Amore Pink' combines romantic blooms, graceful foliage, and season long performance, delivering an effortless, shade loving accent for borders, woodland plantings, and decorative containers.
