Dicentra 'Luxuriant'

Dicentra ‘Luxuriant’ (Dicentra spectabilis ‘Luxuriant’) is a vigorous, clump‐forming perennial appreciated for its arching sprays of rosy‐pink, heart-shaped flowers that dangle from gracefully curved stems in late spring. Its finely divided, blue-green foliage remains attractive well after bloom, adding soft texture to shaded beds and borders. Preferring part to full shade and consistently moist, rich soil, it’s low-maintenance and deer-resistant. Hardy in Canadian zones 3–8, ‘Luxuriant’ brings a touch of romance and reliable performance to woodland gardens or shady corners.
