| Average Size at Maturity | Fast growing; reaches 24 to 30 in. tall, 36 in. wide. |
| Bloom Time | Late Spring to Early Summer |
| Design Ideas | In climates with ample summer moisture and mild to moderate temperatures, the foliage often remains present until the fall, making this a fantastic perennial for shade and woodland garden settings. After its brilliant floral display in the spring, the plants may go through a dormant period in hot and dry summer areas; plant among other summer blooming perennials for best effect. Bleeding Heart makes a great spring flowering perennial for containers, a seasonal indoor flowering house plant, and is a delightful addition to fresh floral bouquets. |
