Amore Titanium Bleeding Heart
Dicentra hybrida ‘Amore Titanium’Amore Titanium Bleeding Heart is a compact and refined perennial known for its soft, blue-green foliage and continuous display of delicate, heart-shaped blooms. From late spring through summer and often into early fall, this variety produces an abundance of nodding, white flowers that hover just above the finely textured foliage. The blooms are smaller and more numerous than traditional bleeding hearts, creating a light, airy effect that brings gentle color and movement to shaded garden spaces.
This tidy, clump-forming perennial typically reaches 12 to 16 inches in height with a spread of 14 to 18 inches. Its distinctive blue-gray foliage sets it apart, offering a cool-toned backdrop that remains attractive throughout the growing season. Unlike older varieties, Amore Titanium is bred for improved heat tolerance and extended blooming, allowing it to maintain both foliage and flowers well into warmer months without going dormant.
Amore Titanium Bleeding Heart thrives in partial shade and prefers well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. It performs best with consistent moisture but is adaptable once established. Its compact size makes it especially well-suited for smaller garden spaces, borders, and containers. Occasional deadheading can encourage continued blooming and help maintain a neat appearance, though the plant is generally low maintenance.
