Very floriferous and vigorous, Dicentra 'Amore Rose' (Fern-Leaf Bleeding Heart) is a compact perennial noted for its beautiful lacy blue-green foliage and its abundant bright rose-pink flowers. Blooming over a very long season extending from late spring to late summer, the flowers dangle gracefully above the foliage mound, which remains fresh-looking throughout the growing season. Perfect to brighten shady borders, rock gardens, underplanting shrubs, as edging plant or as a ground cover.

• Grows in a compact clump, up to 9-14 in. tall (22-35 cm) and 14 in. wide (35 cm). Unlike Common Bleeding Hearts (Dicentra spectabilis), it will not go dormant in midsummer as long as the soil is kept moist.
• Thrives in part shade and is easily grown in fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soils. It is full shade tolerant but be aware that too much shade will result in few flowers. It can be grown in full sun in the coolest part of its range provided the soil is kept consistently moist.
• Great for edging, rock gardens, underplanting shrubs or as a ground cover
• Deer and rabbit resistant
• Apply a thin layer of compost each spring, followed by a 2-in. (5 cm) layer of mulch to retain moisture and control weeds.
• Plant bareroot Dicentra in early spring while the plants are still dormant.
• After the first killing frost, cut stems back to an inch or two above soil line.
• All parts cause severe discomfort if eaten.
