Old-Fashioned Bleeding Heart
Description
One of the oldest plants still in cultivation.
This easy-care woodland native has been a favourite for generations! Long, arching racemes drip with puffy, heart-shaped pink flowers with dainty white tears. The compelling flowers and attractive, fernlike foliage appear in late spring, drawing attention away from spent bulb foliage in the landscape.

We take advance reservations, and then just as soon as the crops are harvested, our staff of Dutch Bulb Experts makes an on-the-spot selection of the finest bulbs available to fill those reservations.
