White Diamonds Bleeding Heart (Dicentra ‘White Diamonds’) produces pure white, heart-shaped blooms that stand out brilliantly against its blue-green fern-like foliage. These graceful flowers begin appearing in spring and continue their display into fall, offering one of the longest bloom times among bleeding hearts. Growing only 14 to 16 inches tall, it forms a neat mound that works beautifully at the front of borders or as a filler in containers. Unlike traditional woodland varieties, this alpine type thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a distinctive choice for gardeners looking to add something truly special to their landscape.
Beyond its striking color and unique growing preferences, White Diamonds Bleeding Heart attracts hummingbirds and bees while resisting deer and common pests. Its attractive foliage maintains interest after flowers fade, and its hardiness across zones 3 to 9 ensures wide adaptability. This low-maintenance perennial tolerates a range of soil pH conditions and remains drought-tolerant once established. White Diamonds Bleeding Heart is perfect for borders, cottage-style plantings, rock gardens, or container displays.
White Diamonds Bleeding Heart Care
Plant White Diamonds Bleeding Heart in a sunny spot that receives at least six hours of direct sun. Provide well-drained, moderately moist soil, and avoid heavy clay or waterlogged areas. Water regularly during the first year, allowing the soil to slightly dry between watering sessions. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring if growth appears sluggish. Mulching around the base helps maintain consistent soil moisture and keeps weeds at bay.
Pruning involves removing spent blooms to encourage continued flowering and trimming back any damaged stems. If the plant becomes leggy, light pinching or thinning after the main bloom period keeps it tidy and encourages fuller growth. In winter, leave the foliage intact to protect the plant’s crown and add a layer of mulch for extra insulation. Container-grown plants may need occasional repotting into fresh soil for best results.
White Diamonds Bleeding Heart Spacing
For a lush display, space individual plants about 16 to 20 inches apart to allow room for the foliage to spread. When planting in mass groupings, maintain similar spacing to ensure healthy growth and ample air circulation. If using in a container, select a pot at least 12 inches in diameter to accommodate the plant’s mature size and root system.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
