Love is a feeling that flourishes in every season, and what better way to celebrate it than with plants that capture its essence? Anemone SATIN DOLL™ ‘Blush’ enchants with its soft, romantic pink blooms, evoking the delicate beauty of love’s first bloom. Bergenia ‘Flirt’ adds an irresistible touch of charm, its deep pink flowers and bold foliage creating a lively and passionate display. The Cyclamen SWEETHEART™ Series lives up to its name with heart-shaped leaves and elegant, upswept flowers—perfect for symbolizing devotion and admiration.
For those who adore the classic symbol of love, bleeding hearts are a must. The Dicentra AMORE™ Series—‘Titanium’, ‘Pink’, and ‘Rose’—brings cascading heart-shaped blooms in shades of silver, pink, and soft rose, creating a romantic garden retreat. Dicentra ‘Gold Heart’ offers a dazzling twist with golden foliage that glows like love’s warmth, while Dicentra ‘Ruby Gold’ adds deep red accents, symbolizing passion and affection. As summer sets in, Sedum ‘Hot Stuff’ turns up the heat with vibrant pink flower clusters, a fiery tribute to love that lasts. And for a final heart-stealing touch, Viola ‘Heartthrob’ showcases rich green leaves adorned with deep burgundy hearts, making it a perfect reminder that love is always in the air. Whether in a garden bed, container, or bouquet, these plants will keep love blooming all year long.
Abundant, large, dogwood-like flowers held just over the glossy foliage. Doesn’t have a large foot print in the garden and runs less than other varieties on the market. One of the earliest blooming with an extended bloom period. Exceptionally high flower count on genetically dwarf plants. Excellent foliage cover, beautiful in pots.

Absolutely one of the most pure, true white flowers we’ve seen in ages. The floral display of this Dicentra is stunning against the soft blue-green foliage. Exceptional vigor and easy culture make this new Bleeding Heart a garden essential. ‘Amore Titanium’ arose as a spontaneous mutation of the popular ‘Amore Pink’ and it’s a knockout. As with all the AMORE™’s, they are very heat resistant and flower for many months, spring through summer. Grow ‘Amore Titanium’ in the sun, or for an elegant woodlander, in the shade.
