Broken hearts

Broken Hearts – Romantic Classics from the Spring Garden

Broken Heart ( Lamprocapnos/Dicentra ) is one of the most distinctive and recognizable perennials, with its gracefully arching stems bearing perfect heart-shaped flowers. It is a true early summer gem, bringing tenderness, nostalgia and a romantic touch to the garden.

Helga Taimeaia's selection includes both the classic pink-and-white brokenheart and the elegant pure white form. Brokenhearts prefer a semi-shaded to shady location and moderately moist, humus-rich soil. They are remarkably frost-resistant and long-lived plants, combining perfectly with geraniums, hostas and ferns.
