Dicentra spectabilis ‘Cupid’
(Bleeding Heart)

A compact and charming bleeding heart selection, ‘Cupid’ features graceful, arching stems lined with classic heart-shaped pink flowers with white inner drops. Blooming from late spring to early summer, it brings a soft, romantic look to shaded garden spaces. Finely cut, blue-green foliage forms a tidy mound beneath the delicate blooms.

This easy-care perennial is ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and cottage-style plantings. It prefers cool conditions and well-drained soil, thriving in morning sun or partial shade. Like other bleeding hearts, it may go dormant in midsummer, especially in warmer conditions.
