Dicentra eximia
FRINGED BLEEDING HEART
- Unit price
- / per
Dicentra eximia is commonly known as wild or fringed bleeding-heart, turkey-corn, is a flowering plant with fernlike leaves and oddly shaped flowers native to eastern and northeastern North America. It is similar to the Pacific bleeding-heart (Dicentra formosa), which grows on the Pacific Coast.
Flowers are pink and bloom in tight clusters at the top of leafless, fleshy stems above the leaves from mid-spring to autumn. Leaves are finely divided and gray-green, growing from the base of the plant.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 12-18", 30-45cm
Location: Part shade or full shade
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Seeds per packet: 10
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18°C, 59-68°F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
