Dicentra spectabilis Valentine 1 Jumbo Plug Plant
Description
Dicentra Spectabilis also none as Bleeding Heart, with its scarlet heart-shaped blooms that delicately cascade from the arching red stems. A beautiful variety to add to a spring border, from the moment the plum-coloured shoots push through the soil, with delicate foliage that turns into a dark grey-green, making the perfect backdrop for the delicate blooms. This stunning Hardy Perennial thrives in damp borders and woodland gardens, but looks equally striking spilling over the edge of a shady patio container. Height: 75cm (30”). Spread: 60cm (24”). Pot up plug plants using free-draining compost, and grow them on in frost free conditions until large enough to plant outside. Once they are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before planting them outdoors. Grow dicentra plants in well drained, reliably moist, fertile ground in partial or dappled-shade. Dicentra prefers a humus-rich, neutral or alkaline soil. Improve soil conditions by adding plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost prior to planting. In spring, apply a mulch of chipped bark or well-rotted garden compost to the base of the plant to help retain moisture in the soil during the growing season. Dicentras have particularly fragile roots and are best left undisturbed if possible. However, overcrowded clumps may be divided in late autumn or early spring if necessary. Position: Sun or Semi Shade, Dappled Shade Height: 75cm (30”). Spread: 60cm (24”).
