Dicentra 'Pink Diamonds' is different from the other bleeding hearts you may be familiar with in that it is not a woodland plant. It is from high elevations in cool climates and it can grow in full sun there, much like an alpine. It will not grow well in heavy clay soils and does not need deep, moist soils like most Dicentras. Give this one more sun than you would typically give a Dicentra and you will be rewarded with stronger growth and more flowers.
