Re: my new plants
Hi!
It occurs to me that your "French" bleeding heart could actually be
*fringed* bleeding heart---Dicentra eximia . This bleeding heart is
smaller than the common Dicentra, and blooms all summer long. I had one
in my garden in Michigan with mostly shade, and what sun it did get was
sporadic. I didn't provide it with supplemental water, except in
draught situations. It grew about 1 foot high and around, and bloomed
constantly from spring until frost. As the name suggests, the leaves
are fringed, making the plant look like a delicate blooming fern. I
think some of the perennial catalogs refer to it as "Fernleaf" Bleeding
Heart.
Anyhow, it's a lovely plant, so enjoy!!!!
