Amore Rose Bleeding Heart (Dicentra 'Amore Rose')

Amore Rose Bleeding Heart (Dicentra 'Amore Rose') is a compact, long blooming woodland perennial admired for its profusion of rose pink, heart shaped flowers and finely cut blue green foliage. Bred for extended performance beyond spring, it flowers in waves from late spring into fall in cool, evenly moist conditions, forming a tidy clump that brightens shaded borders, woodland edges, and containers with graceful texture and romantic color.

Distinctive Features

Continuous sprays of small rose pink hearts rise above lacy, fern like leaves, delivering a soft, luminous display in dappled shade; the compact, mounded habit resists the summer slump common to older bleeding hearts and keeps plantings fresh and cohesive.

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; pauses in extreme heat, then resumes.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Cascading rose hearts create a romantic highlight in shade gardens.
  • Woodland Gardens: Partners beautifully with hosta, heuchera, brunnera, and ferns.
  • Shaded Borders: Fine texture and steady color unify mixed plantings.
  • Containers: Compact habit performs well in patio pots in dappled light.
  • Cottage Gardens: Old fashioned charm with modern, extended flowering.

Low Maintenance Care

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