This exceptional, dwarf variety blooms from mid spring until a hard frost.  The pendulous flowers accent the lacy, blue-grey foliage and are shaped like cute little rose-pink hearts. Dicentra 'Candy Hearts' remain compact and attractive all season long!  The delicate fragrance is an added bonus for the senses! With its elegant long stems and famous heart-shaped flowers, Dicentra is perfect for a border or patio container, and will thrive in a partially shaded spot.  This really is a shade lover, delighting in full to part shade conditions. This plant will perform in the full sun but will tend to disappear in mid-summer when it has all the sun it can handle.  It usually pops back up the following spring. It is best to plant it in fertile but well-drained soils.  ‘Candy Hearts’ prefers consistently moist, humus-rich soils that are similar to a great woodland soil -- full of organic matter and richly fertile. The simplest way to mimic this is to add several shovels of compost around the base of the plant every spring.

Astilbe - Delft Lace - DetailsAstilbe - Delft Lace - Sale Price: $59.95
Astilbe Delft Lace, Astilbe 'Delft Lace' PPAF, will brighten up your landscape with its beautiful lacy foliage. The waxy foliage is a deep blue-green with a light silver overlay that gives it a unique look, and added excitement, as a seasonal garden player. This new variety is reported to have more attractive foliage and stronger flower stems than 'Peach Blossom'.   Its bright-red stems rise above blue-green leaves, holding plumes of apricot-pink flowers trimmed with deep salmon pink buds. Astilbes are long-lived perennials that are most comfortable when grown in rich soil and light shade to filtered sun.  They will grow in full shade, but will not bloom as prolifically there. Though they are easy to grow, Astilbes have one critical requirement--lots of water.  Plants must have consistently moist soil; dryness leads to a quick demise, especially in the sun. Fertilize Astilbes in late spring before flowering starts.  Wait to cut back the old foliage until spring; it will help protect the plant from winter damage. If the flowers are picked when half open, the blooms are useful for cutting and make gorgeous bouquets. The more sun this rugged and beautiful plant gets, the darker the foliage!  Plant ‘Delft Lace’ where everyone can enjoy its brilliant colors! * Unique waxy foliage * Easy to Grow * Bright red stems
