Description / Dicentra 'Fire Island' Bleeding Heart

Dicentra 'Fire Island' is a sun-loving bleeding heart that brings bold beauty to the garden. This compact, bushy perennial matures to just 10 to 15 inches tall, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens, patio pots, or rock gardens. 'Fire Island' blooms earlier and longer than typical varieties, with sprays of magenta-red, heart-shaped flowers that last from early/mid spring into midsummer. These dangling blooms stand out brilliantly against a mound of finely textured, frosty blue foliage that stays lush throughout the season, adding charm even when not in bloom. Perfect for cut flower arrangements, both the flowers and foliage are garden treasures.

Known as bleeding heart or fern-leaved bleeding heart, 'Fire Island' is a hardy perennial for Zones 4-7. Its unique ability to thrive in sunny spots sets it apart, making it a standout addition to borders, beds, or as a ground cover. With no seed production, it blooms continuously for a longer season.

'Fire Island' prefers partially shady to shady locations with fertile, well-draining soil that is consistently moist. While it thrives in sun, providing afternoon shade in hotter climates helps maintain its health. Resistant to pests and diseases, this low-maintenance perennial is a reliable and gorgeous garden performer.

Plant 'Fire Island' Bleeding Heart roots in spring, spacing them 18 to 24 inches apart and burying them 1½ to 2 inches deep.
