Description
Dicentra 'Ivory Hearts', also known as Bleeding Heart, is a compact perennial plant with elegant finely-cut grey-blue-green foliage that stands out for its extended flowering period. Its ivory-white heart-shaped flowers will delicately illuminate shady and moist gardens.
Bleeding Heart 'Ivory Hearts' belongs to the Papaveraceae (Fumariaceae) family. It is a hybrid result of cross-breeding Dicentra eximia and Dicentra peregrina. Its first parent is native to the eastern United States, and the second is from Japan, the Kuril Islands, and Sakhalin to northern Siberia, passing through the Kamchatka Peninsula. The fast growth of this Bleeding Heart will allow it to grow to 30 cm (12in) in all directions within two years.
Dicentra 'Ivory Hearts' forms a compact and dense clump. The deciduous foliage is a very soft grey-green-blue and appears powdered. It is finely cut resembling ferns or chervil. The remarkably long flowering period begins in April-May and only ends in September-October. The small ivory-white heart-shaped flowers gracefully hang from the arching stems. The Bleeding Heart 'Ivory Hearts' spreads through creeping rhizomes, allowing it to naturalize if conditions are favourable.
Plant Dicentra 'Ivory Hearts' in deep soil, rich in humus, moist to dry in summer and neutral to acidic. This perennial will thrive in shade or a semi-shaded position with morning sun, under trees or bushes without minding competition. Keep the soil moist in summer for continuous flowering. Clean the plant in spring to remove dead foliage.
Dicentra 'Ivory Hearts' is primarily a shade or semi-shade plant that will reach its full potential in the coolness of a woodland. It can be accompanied by other perennials that are not afraid of competition from tree or bush roots. Pair it with the cousin of Solomon's Seal (Uvularia grandiflora), hardy Fuchsias, creeping Bugle in purple, Japanese Anemones, Balkan Digitalis, Tricyrtis, and a carpet of periwinkles.
Attention: Bleeding Heart 'Ivory Hearts' is potentially toxic.
Most Bleeding Hearts go dormant at the end of spring, but this has no harmful effect on plant health

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.
