Bleeding heart is a plant unlike any other. Heart-shaped flowers hang down from arching stems in a display that appears almost too romantic to be real. Formerly known as Dicentra spectabilis, bleeding heart, since reclassified as Lamprocapnos spectabilis, is an eye-catching plant that will attract attention wherever it is grown.
This part-shade perennial is native to Asia and found growing at the edge of wooded areas in China, Korea, and parts of Siberia. In early spring, this deciduous plant pushes out new growth, with flowers blooming in the early months of the growing season.
