The charming blooms of bleeding hearts (Dicentra) are an elegant addition to the late spring and early summer garden. Featured in this plant combination is ‘Gold Heart’, a stunning selection with rosy-pink blossoms and brilliant golden-yellow lacy leaves. The luminous foliage creates a perfect foil for late-flowering, rich purple tulips.

Extremely easy to re-create and low maintenance, you have to try it!

Most plants included in this cheerful planting combination have received the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society for their outstanding merits. Enjoy!
