Fringed Bleeding Heart (Dicentra eximia)

Fringed Bleeding Heart is a delicate, native perennial known for its heart-shaped, pink flowers that bloom from spring through fall. Unlike its more fleeting relatives, this long-blooming variety thrives in woodland gardens, adding beauty and supporting pollinators. Its finely cut, fern-like foliage provides texture, while the flowers attract beneficial wildlife, including bees and butterflies. This shade-loving plant also has historical medicinal uses, particularly for skin conditions and as a mild sedative.

Key Characteristics:

  • Pollinator Support: The uniquely shaped pink flowers attract bees, particularly bumblebees, as well as butterflies like the Eastern Swallowtail. Its extended bloom time ensures a continuous nectar source throughout the growing season.

  • Wildlife Shelter and Cover: The low, dense foliage of Fringed Bleeding Heart provides shelter for small ground-dwelling wildlife, such as toads and insects, contributing to a biodiverse garden ecosystem.

  • Medicinal Uses: Historically, Native American tribes used the root of Fringed Bleeding Heart for its mild sedative effects and to treat skin conditions. A poultice made from the root was applied to skin irritations and minor wounds.

  • Shade-Loving, Woodland Garden Essential: This plant thrives in partial to full shade, making it perfect for woodland edges, shaded borders, and underplanting in tree canopies. Its long-lasting blooms brighten shaded garden spaces.
