Dicentra - sowing broken hearts
Dicentra is popularly known as Broken Heart. The Dicentra is a wonderful spring blossomer and takes its name from the form of its flowers, which look like broken hearts. When you turn the attractive pink flower leaves around and carefully pull them apart, they also look like a lady taking a bath. Therefore, in the UK Dicentras are also known as Lady in a Bath , or Bleeding Heart. Dicentras are perennials and the best location to sow them is in moist soil with partial shade.
