Description
Dicentra or Bleeding Heart 'Pink Diamonds' blooms in two shades of pink on an elegant, finely cut, blue-greenish-grey foliage. It is an alpine plant that prefers a well-drained soil and thrives in sunlight. It does not like deep and clay soils, although it prefers a moist soil. It flowers from spring to the end of summer. The flowers of this Bleeding Heart create a charming bicolour effect, in soft pink and medium pink tones. It grows well in a pot.
Bleeding Heart 'Pink Diamonds' belongs to the Papaveraceae (Fumariaceae) family. It originates from mountain areas. Slow-growing, it reaches a height of 35 cm (14in) and a spread of 45 cm (18in) at maturity. The plant forms a compact and dense clump. The foliage, deciduous in winter, resembles that of Absinthe. It has a very soft grey-greenish-blue colour foliage that appears powdery. Finely cut, it also resembles ferns or chervil leaves. The remarkably long flowering period begins in April-May and lasts until September-October. The flowers, resembling small hearts, open in soft pink and evolve into a bicoloured flower with the addition of a deeper pink tone. They gracefully hang along the arching stems. Bleeding Heart 'Pink Diamonds' spreads by trailing rhizomes, allowing it to naturalise if conditions are favourable.
Plant Dicentra 'Pink Diamonds' in full sun or partial shade, in a well-drained soil, moist to dry in summer, neutral to acidic. Keep the soil slightly moist in summer to encourage more flowers. Remove dead foliage from the plant in spring. In rock gardens, borders, or containers, plant this Dicentra with ornamental garlic such as Allium caesium, Phlox, or Columbines.
Attention: The Bleeding Heart is potentially toxic.
Most Bleeding Hearts go dormant at the end of spring, but this does not have any negative effects on plant growth.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
