Amore Titanium Bleeding Heart

Amore Titanium Bleeding Heart (Dicentra 'Amore Titanium')

Amore Titanium Bleeding Heart (Dicentra 'Amore Titanium') is a compact, long blooming woodland perennial admired for cool white to icy blush, heart shaped flowers carried above finely cut blue green foliage. Bred for season long performance, 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 refined texture and luminous color.

Distinctive Features

Continuous sprays of small, pearly white hearts with a faint blush rise over lacy, fern like leaves; the neat, mounded habit resists the summer slump common to older types and keeps plantings fresh and polished 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; may pause in extreme heat, then resume.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Luminous white hearts create a refined highlight in shade.
• Woodland Gardens: Partners beautifully with hosta, heuchera, brunnera, and ferns.
• Shaded Borders: Fine texture and steady color unify mixed plantings.
• Containers: Compact, tidy habit performs well in patio pots in dappled light.

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 neat mound.
• Fertilizing: Top dress with compost in spring; add a balanced, slow release fertilizer if soils are lean.
