I hope to see my new plants put on a display of mounding, gray-green, ferny leaves and drooping clusters of white to magenta-pink hearts, once planted out next spring. Sometimes called Turkey Corn, they grow 1-2 feet high and wide. Known as Dicentra eximia, they are part of the Fumitory Family (Fumariaceae). This year they grew beautifully and filled out in their large containers.Įven though I have already profiled one native Dicentra ( Dicentra cucullaria) this year, I thought Wild Bleeding Heart would make another wonderful plant to highlight for this series. I decided on Fringed or Wild Bleeding Heart, ordered some bare root plants last year, and over wintered them in pots. So I thought I would add a native Bleeding Heart, in hopes it would grow more readily. I have always loved Bleeding Hearts, but the Asian Bleeding Heart ( Lamprocapnos spectabilis) has not adapted to my garden easily. “Let us decide on the route that we wish to take to pass our life, and attempt to sow that route with flowers.” ~Madame du Chatelet
