Dicentra 'Pink Diamonds' | Fern-leaved Bleeding Heart

Dicentra 'Pink Diamonds' PP32380 CPBRAF — featured as part of the Sun Jewels™ Series is a standout fern-leaved bleeding heart perfect for both novice and seasoned gardeners seeking long-lasting color and stunning texture in their gardens. With its compact size, abundant blooms, and versatility, this Proven Winners® perennial elevates any garden bed, border, or patio container. 

Bloom Color and Seasonal Appeal

‘Pink Diamonds’ dazzles with its prolific display of two-tone heart-shaped flowers, blending medium and pale pink with elegant white tips. These delicate blooms arch gracefully above mounds of lacy, blue-green foliage, creating a sparkling effect reminiscent of jewels scattered throughout the garden. The blooms first emerge in late spring and continue into fall, delivering months of color and attracting hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies to your landscape. 

Growth Habit, Height, and Width

Unlike traditional woodland bleeding hearts, ‘Pink Diamonds’ is an alpine-type perennial bred for strength, compact form, and resilience in sunnier conditions. Each plant forms a neat mound of fine, fern-like foliage, reaching a garden height of 12–16 inches, and spreading 16–18 inches wide. Its dense, mounded habit fits seamlessly into borders, rock gardens, mixed planters, and smaller spaces where classic bleeding hearts might not thrive. 

Easy-Care Guide for All Gardeners

One of the most compelling advantages of ‘Pink Diamonds’ is its low-maintenance growth, making it a favorite for gardeners of every skill level. Here are simple tips to ensure flourishing plants year after year:

• Light: Thrives in full sun to part shade. Unlike most bleeding hearts, more sun encourages stronger growth and extra blooms; just avoid deeply shaded woodland conditions. 

• Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained soil. Avoid heavy clay or waterlogged sites, as these can lead to root issues. Incorporate compost or organic matter to boost drainage and fertility. 

• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy, especially during the establishment phase and dry spells. Once mature, 'Pink Diamonds' is moderately drought tolerant but will flower best with regular moisture. 

• Maintenance: Little care is needed! Simply remove spent flower stems to encourage more blooms and trim any tired foliage as needed. Deer resistant and rarely troubled by pests. 

• Hardiness: Exceptionally cold-hardy (USDA Zones 3–9), making it suitable for gardens across much of the United States.
