Dicentra 'Pearl Drops'

Plant details

Brilliant for spring displays after the daffodils, dicentras are invaluable for bringing colour to cool moist shady parts of the garden. Grow clumps between shrubs, as drifts in light woodland, or in flower borders for an early start. Pink dicentras are the most commonly seen, but pale varieties like 'Pearl Drops' are outstanding and in this variety the silvery blue-green foliage makes a particularly good foil for the clusters of pink-tinged pearly raindrop-shaped flowers. Although traditionally spring flowers, many varieties like this one flower spasmodically well into summer, too.
