Dicentra ‘Gold Heart’ (Bleeding Heart)
Dicentra spectabilis ‘Gold Heart’ is a true garden jewel, known for its brilliant golden foliage and graceful, arching stems. In late spring, rosy-pink, heart-shaped flowers dangle elegantly above the glowing leaves, creating a stunning contrast of color and texture. This shade-loving perennial thrives in consistently moist, well-drained soil and appreciates a touch of dryness between waterings — though it should never be allowed to go completely dry, especially when young. In the landscape, ‘Gold Heart’ shines as an accent in woodland settings, shaded borders, or mixed beds, where its vibrant foliage and romantic blooms make an unforgettable spring display.

Why It’s a Creekside Champion™:
We love ‘Gold Heart’ for its luminous golden foliage, classic pink blooms, and graceful form that brightens even the shadiest corners of the garden.
