Grass Calamagrostis ‘Karl Foerster (2)

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:43:58 +0000

Perennial Plant of the Year for 2001. This is a cool season, clumping grass with a compact, erect growth habit. It is especially prized in the north where the magnificent, wheat-like seed heads appear in late spring and last all season long. C. ‘Karl Foerster’ provides a great backdrop for lower growing, flowering perennials throughout the year. It is also useful for screening purposes and will not reseed. A good choice for heavy clay soils. ‘Karl Foerster’ prefers sunny, dry conditions. It can be grown in nearly any soil, including heavy clay. Be sure to provide plenty of moisture in extremely hot weather. Cut back to 6 in. in spring before new growth begins. Propagate by division in either spring or fall.

Forms a bushy upright mound of coarse dark-green leaves, bearing large umbrella-like heads of magenta-pink flowers in late summer. A magnet to butterflies, suitable for planting in moist to wet areas.

Dicentra ‘Valentine’ (4)

A new spin on an old favorite! If you love the classic look of Old Fashioned Bleeding Hearts but are looking for an updated color palette, try this new red flowering selection. Much like the species, this variety also grows quickly to form a robust clump of foliage topped with arching flower stems in late spring. However, the stems on this variety are deeper red and the large, puffy heart-shaped flowers are bright red with a white tip. They dangle romantically from the leafless stems over a period of many weeks.

Dicentra ‘Spectablis’ (2)

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:43:55 +0000

One of the oldest but still irreplacable perennials in cultivation. Old-fashioned Bleeding Hearts form large, bushy clumps of powdery-green foliage comprised of cut or lobed leaves on fleshy stems. In late spring, chains of puffy heart-shaped flowers with rose-pink petals and white tips dangle beneath the arching, leafless stems. These racemes make delightful additions to fresh bouquets, lasting about 2 weeks in a vase. In cooler climates with adequate moisture, the bloom time may be extended into early summer.

Dicentra ‘Gold Heart’ (4)

BG2026admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:43:55 +0000

This brilliant spring beauty will shine like a beacon in the spring and summer landscape. It is a selection of Nori Pope from England’s Hadspen House. ‘Gold Heart’ produces arching sprays of pink bleeding hearts in spring above shocking gold foliage. Best in light shade and moist soil. Excellent in the shade garden combined with Cimicifuga ‘Brunette’ or any selection of burgundy foliaged Heucheras.
