What You Will Receive: You will receive a pack of 2 healthy Red Bleeding Heart starter plants, currently standing 5-9 inches tall. These vigorous, well-rooted plugs are shipped ready to transplant, providing an affordable way to add rare, romantic crimson color to your woodland garden or shady borders.

A Romantic Shade Masterpiece: Transform dark corners into a love story. Unlike the common pink variety, this rare selection produces dangling, heart-shaped flowers in a rich, cherry-red hue with white tips. Suspended from elegant, arching stems over fern-like green foliage, they look like floating jewels in the spring garden.

Thrives Where Others Fade: Finally, a showstopper for the shade! These plants flourish in full shade to partial shade, making them the perfect solution for under trees, north-facing walls, or covered patios where sun-loving flowers fail. They bring vibrant energy to the darkest parts of your landscape.

Hummingbird Magnet: Bring nature to your doorstep. The unique shape of the Bleeding Heart flower is perfectly designed for hummingbirds and long-tongued bees. Planting this 2-pack creates a high-traffic nectar station that supports local pollinators early in the spring season.

Tough & Deer Resistant: Enjoy beauty without the battle. Red Bleeding Hearts are exceptionally cold hardy (down to Zone 3) and are generally ignored by deer and rabbits, allowing you to enjoy the blooms without waking up to a grazed garden.
