Back to buying options5 Pink Pacific Bleeding Hearts – Dicentra formosa – Live Bare Root Plants – Set of 5 Shade-Loving Perennials
Bring delicate woodland beauty to your garden with Pink Pacific Bleeding Hearts (Dicentra formosa). This charming perennial features fern-like foliage and delicate pink, heart-shaped flowers that attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Unlike the Asian Bleeding Heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis), Pacific Bleeding Heart is a shorter woodland plant that may bloom briefly during the growing season.
This listing includes five live bare-root plants with rhizomes approximately 3–5 inches long. The leaves will be trimmed before shipping, and the plants will arrive without soil or pots. They are carefully wrapped in damp paper and plastic to help maintain moisture during transit. After planting, allow time for the plants to establish and regrow; new growth may take several weeks or longer, depending on conditions.

✔️ Bare-root rhizomes approximately 3–5 inches each
