Dicentra eximia 'Stuart Boothman' - 2026

Dicentra eximia 'Stuart Boothman' is a compact perennial known for its finely divided, gray-green foliage that forms a lush mound. Arching sprays of deep pink, heart-shaped flowers appear in late spring to early summer, adding vibrant colour to shaded garden areas. Its evergreen habit in mild climates provides year-round ornamental interest, and the delicate foliage adds texture and structure to woodland borders or shaded beds. The flowers are attractive to pollinators, supporting biodiversity while enhancing garden aesthetics.

This cultivar thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers partial to full shade. Once established, 'Stuart Boothman' spreads reliably and is relatively low-maintenance, making it ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or as ground cover under taller plants. Its combination of attractive foliage, long-lasting flowers, and hardy nature makes it a valuable addition to shaded garden spaces.
