Dicentra formosa 'Adrian Bloom' - 2026

Dicentra formosa 'Adrian Bloom' is a compact, mound-forming perennial known for its finely divided, bluish-green, fern-like foliage that provides a delicate backdrop to its floral display. Arching stems carry clusters of nodding, heart-shaped flowers in a rich crimson-rose shade from late spring through summer. Its vibrant blooms and textured foliage make it an attractive choice for shaded or woodland gardens, and the flowers also attract pollinators, enhancing biodiversity.

This cultivar thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers partial to full shade. Its compact size and decorative foliage make it suitable for ground cover, mixed containers, or as an edging plant in shaded borders. Regular removal of faded flowers encourages additional blooms and helps maintain a tidy appearance. Its combination of long flowering period, ornamental foliage, and low-maintenance habit makes 'Adrian Bloom' a reliable and appealing addition to shaded garden spaces.
