This Dicentra 'Candy Hearts' (Fern-leaf Bleedingheart) is a just a shot of good cheer in my garden. It is another one of my plants that has made it through the upheavals of our landscaping endeavours and yet it is thriving.
I just love its neverending offerings of cheerful, candy-coloured blooms. We tucked it into a woodsy spot by a cedar and, although the spot can be a bit dry, it has rich soil and dappled light, so with a little additional water it may continue to bloom into autumn.
Happy gardening, and here's hoping August brings you the sunshine, rain, heat or cooling breeze that your garden needs to make everything just right!

another beauty, love the photos, have a wonderful holiday x
Candy Hearts -- it's so well-named!
Have a good vacation!
The lacy foliage is so pretty, and it looks great in front of the cedar, with the dark green background. The little candies really pop aginst the green colour.
Have a fun and relaxing vacation.
What a beautiful plant! I have the regular bleeding hearts but not this variety.
