Pink Diamonds Fern-Leaved Bleeding Heart (Dicentra 'Pink Diamonds')
dy-SEN-trah 'Pink Diamonds'

Deciduous Perennial in the Papaveraceae Family
Note: Spring ephemerals have evolved take advantage of sunlight which penetrates deciduous forests before the trees fully leaf out and then shut down for the year by the end of spring to rest until the next year. When buying them in summer you typically won't see anything above the ground until the next April!
Pink Diamonds bleeding heart: lightly fragrant pink-and-white flowers over blue-green ferny foliage, all season.
Dicentra 'Pink Diamonds' is a Walters Gardens hybrid bred from a self-pollination of 'Firecracker', selected for its compact habit and extra-long bloom season. From late spring into summer it produces lightly sweet-scented, two-tone pink and white heart-shaped flowers over a tidy mound of finely cut, blue-green, fern-like foliage.

Pros

  • Unusually long bloom season, 16 to 20 weeks from late spring into summer
  • Lightly sweet-scented flowers, unusual for the genus
  • Compact, fern-like blue-green foliage
  • Best vigor in full sun with well-drained soil

Cons

  • A newer introduction with limited long-term performance history
  • All parts are toxic if ingested

Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

To secure the best prices for club members and make sure we know the current plants available from each nursery, we take orders only a couple of times a month.

No Pricing or Availability Right Now

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
