Planting & Care Guide
Position: Best in partial to full shade, but can tolerate morning sun.
Soil: Prefers moist, humus-rich, well-draining soil—avoid waterlogged areas.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells.
Maintenance:
- Cut back spent flowers to encourage new growth.
- Allow foliage to die back naturally in autumn to nourish the roots.
- Apply mulch in winter to retain moisture and improve soil health.
Pair Dicentra ‘Pink Diamonds’ with ferns, hostas, heucheras, and astilbes for a soft, romantic woodland display. Its graceful form also complements spring bulbs like bluebells and snowdrops.
