Pacific bleeding heart is easily one of the most beloved plants in a shady woodland Northwest Garden. In early spring, a carpet of delicate bright to blueish-green foliage emerges from the earth, soon followed by a plethora of enchanting heart-shaped purplish-pink blooms bobbing above the leaves on upright stems, beckoning hummingbirds and other pollinators.

Gardening with Pacific Bleeding Heart: Try establishing a ground cover of pacific bleeding heart beneath native conifers or other trees like alder or vine maple, in areas that are moist and rich in organic matter and topped with a blanket of fine mulch, fallen leaves left in place or raked from one area of your garden to another. No need to reinvent the wheel on mulch. 4.6 billion years of evolution already created the perfect product and applies it for us annually, at just the right time. Go figure. If put in the right place, Pacific bleeding heart will spread vigorously through rhizomes - and, occasionally, even produce a second bloom later in the season. Try accompanying it with understory species like evergreen huckleberry, salal, osoberry, and native ferns - and other ground covers like stream violet, false Solomon’s seal, and Hooker’s fairy bells.
