Formerly known as Dicentra spectablilis, bleeding heart is a Chinese plant bearing pink-red, heart-shaped flowers with white tips, which hang from arching flower stems in late spring to early summer.
Lamprocapnos spectabilis 'Burning Hearts' bears large reddish-pink flowers from April to June, held above ferny, grey-green foliage. It performs best in a shady, moist spot and works well as path edging. Be careful when handling the foliage as it may irritate the skin. To propagate, divide plants in spring.
