Remove faded flowers and damaged stems to keep the plant tidy and encourage continued flowering. Regular maintenance will help maintain its neat, compact shape.

Mulching

Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base in spring to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil quality. Mulching also helps maintain consistent soil conditions for Dicentra ‘Amore Titanium’.

Supporting the Plant

This plant has a naturally compact habit and usually does not require staking. However, planting among other perennials can provide gentle support if needed.
