African Garden + Rose

Hearts and Flowers

Dicentra 'King of Hearts'
Why is it that Roses are associated with Valentine's Day, the day of hearts and flowers? Wouldn't Dicentras be a better choice, as the flowers are hearts? Who could resist these sweet hearts?

Dicentra 'Bountiful' with Phlox divaricata 'Clouds of Perfume' (hearts, flowers and perfume, the perfect Valentine gift)

Dicentra hybrids: Zone 3-9, part shade, medium moisture, blooms April through July or later depending on temperature and moisture
