10Pcs Rare Purple Bleeding Heart Seeds Dicentra Spectabilis Flower Seeds

Sow Indoors or Outdoors: Bleeding Heart is recommended to begin indoors 12 – 14 weeks prior to the frost because dicentra seeds are perennials that require 56 – 70 days to germinate with full lighting. Once sprouted, seedlings will require a shaded spot in the garden or indoors. Plants may reseed if grown in optimal shaded gardens.

Leaves will go dormant in summer and best grown alongside ferns and other late perennials. Dicentra has no serious pests or diseases but monitor for aphids, as some indoor plants are susceptible to infestations. Color: Delicate pink and white “hearts” stemmed in rich greens
