Fringed bleeding heart is a beautiful, native perennial plant occurring on forest floors, rocky woods and ledges in the Appalachian Mountains. It prefers rich, moist, well-drained soil and does not like wet winter soil. The fern-like foliage and blooms appear in spring and bloom time can continue into summer. In hot climates, it may stop blooming in summer and rebloom in fall.

It can naturalize by seed dispersal by ants if happy so it does well in naturalized areas, native, rock and shade gardens.

Rabbit Resistant!
