Why some shipping routes differ

Live plants are pickup only June 1–September 30. Plugs and potted plants cannot use our shipping path to AZ, CA, HI, ID, NV, OR, UT, or WA; pickup may remain available. Soil-free bare root plants may ship to those states during March 1–May 31 when all remaining rules pass. Montana plug and potted-plant arrivals must be October 1–May 31.

We choose neem oil and lower-impact plant care instead of routinely drenching our greenhouse with lab-manufactured pesticides. We are exploring a screened growing house that may expand future shipping options.

Bare root arrives dormant

Expect new growth in about 6 weeks after planting. Until then it can look lifeless, so you won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether it will grow.

About the Product

Pixie Hearts is a sun-loving bleeding heart with soft, blushing-pink flowers held airily above deeply cut blue-green foliage. It stays clean and compact all season.

Unlike the classic shade-loving bleeding heart, this alpine type prefers sun and sharp drainage and does not go dormant in summer. It blooms from late spring into fall, with a peak in early summer, and fits well at the front of a border, in rock gardens and in containers.

What it looks like

A tidy, rounded clump about 14 to 20 inches tall and 28 to 30 inches wide of very finely cut, lacy, fern-like leaves in blue-green with a soft, powdery bloom. Small, puffy, heart-shaped flowers about three-quarters of an inch long are a soft blush pink with slightly paler tips. The flowers dangle in small clusters from slender, arching stems held just above the foliage. At peak bloom in early summer the lacy mound is topped with many little hanging hearts.

Growing it with lavender

It likes lavender's sunny, well-drained conditions, and its blush pink hearts and lacy blue-green foliage soften the edge of a lavender planting.

Care

Plant in full sun to light part shade in average soil with excellent drainage; this alpine type does not want a shady, damp woodland spot. Hardy in zones 3-9. Water during long dry spells, and trim off tired foliage in midsummer if needed to refresh the plant.

When it arrives

Your bare-root plant

Expect a small clump of brittle, fleshy roots or short rhizomes with pinkish buds. Handle gently; roots snap. Soak briefly, plant with buds about 1 in deep, and keep moist until shoots appear.

Expect new growth in about 6 weeks after planting. Bare root ships March–May while dormant, with little or no top growth, and it can look lifeless until then. That’s normal. Ferny blue-green shoots appear in early to mid spring. Bloom starts in late spring and repeats, often slowing in hot weather and picking up again in fall.

You won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether a dormant plant will grow.

When to plant

Spring or early fall.

How deep

Set buds or the crown about 1 in below the soil surface. Fernleaf types spread slowly by shallow rhizomes; lay those horizontally.

Spacing

12-18 in apart.

Soil

Loose, humus-rich loam · pH 5.5–7.0

Fix-it tip: Add compost or leaf mold to keep soil moist yet draining. Avoid spots that stay wet in winter; crowns rot.

Sun

Part shade (tolerates full sun with plenty of water; dappled shade).

Morning sun and afternoon shade give the most flowers.

Don’t give up on it
