Dicentra formosa 'Stuart Boothman' – Dutchman's Breeches
A compact herbaceous perennial bearing finely divided, fern-like grey-green foliage and delicate arching sprays of deep rosy-pink, heart-shaped flowers. This improved dwarf form reaches just 35 cm in height, making it ideal for rock gardens, borders, and containers where its refined form and graceful flower display can be appreciated at close range.
The feathery foliage creates attractive texture even when the plant is not in bloom, providing season-long interest. 'Stuart Boothman' also has a freely flowering nature, with blooms reappearing throughout the growing season in cool conditions. It thrives in part shade with consistently moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil and is particularly suited to woodland gardens, shaded borders, and edging positions. Winter dormant.
