Fringed Bleeding Heart has pink heart shaped flowers that adorn fern-like leaves that will not die back as the traditional old fashioned bleeding heart does. The perfect addition to a shade garden that once established will be more tolerant of dry conditions. Do not plant in an area that is wet in the winter. Deadhead to prolong blooming. Prefers moist hummus soils with good drainage.
