Blooming in late spring to early summer, it thrives in part shade and moist, well-drained soil. Though it tends to go dormant in midsummer, its delicate foliage pairs well with hostas and ferns to maintain visual interest. Deer-resistant and easy to grow, it is a staple in woodland gardens and shaded borders.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Dicentra Spectabilis (Ships in Spring)

Planting: Plant bare roots or divisions in early spring or fall. Set roots 2 to 3 inches deep and space 12 to 24 inches apart, depending on the variety. Ensure the crown is just below the soil surface.
Location: Prefers partial to full shade. Ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or under deciduous trees.
Soil: Moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5–7.0). Amend with compost to improve texture and fertility.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during active growth. Avoid waterlogged conditions to prevent root rot.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–9. Most species go dormant in midsummer, especially in hot climates.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Avoid overfeeding.
Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks and yellowing foliage. Allow the plant to go dormant naturally.
Propagation: Divide clumps in early spring or fall every 3 to 5 years. Some species also self-seed.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Watch for slugs, aphids, and powdery mildew in humid conditions.
