Sun Jewels™ Rubies and Diamonds Bleeding Heart is a radiant perennial delivers ruby-red flowers that shimmer like gemstones above delicately cut, glaucous blue foliage. Blooming from spring through early fall, it offers one of the longest flowering windows of any Dicentra—making it a standout anchor for sunny borders and rock gardens alike.
Unlike traditional Bleeding Hearts that prefer cool woodland shade, this alpine-type hybrid can tolerate slightly more sun exposure and well-drained soils. Its refined foliage stays tidy and attractive even when temperatures rise, bringing soft texture and color that elegantly contrast with its jewel-toned blooms. Whether surrounding stepping stones or softening a gravel path, it adds both structure and drama without overwhelming the space.
Perfect for gardeners craving a long-lasting, low-maintenance perennial, Sun Jewels™ Rubies and Diamonds Bleeding Heart rewards you with months of vibrant color and the resilience needed for dry, sunny sites. Plant it where water drains freely—slopes, berms, gravel beds, or raised borders—and watch it flourish. From early spring's first sparkles to its late-season encore, Sun Jewels™ Rubies and Diamonds Bleeding Heart is a treasure that shines bright through every phase of the growing season.
