(Bleeding Heart) Dicentra ‘Gold Heart’ is a stunning gold-leaved form of the old-time favorite common bleeding heart! Arching peach-colored stems carry chains of deep pink and white heart-shaped flowers above the dramatic gold leaves. Hummingbirds are attracted to the graceful blooms, yet deer keep their distance. The fern-like foliage appears early in the spring and provides a colorful focal point in the shade garden. ‘Gold Heart’ will grow up to 2 feet high and up to 3 feet wide. Hardy for zones 3 to 9, plant in full to part shade. Like other Dicentra spectabilis, ‘Gold Heart’ will go dormant during the heat of the summer. We recommend planting near hostas or ferns that will fill in the area after the Dicentra foliage dies back.
