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. Clumps of bleeding heart remain compact for many years and don't need dividing.
Lamprocapnos spectabilis 'Valentine' is a recent introduction, featuring long, arching spikes of cherry-red blooms with white tips held on dark burgundy stems. Flowers contrast beautifully with delicate ferny, green-grey foliage. For best results grow 'Valentine' in shady, woodland gardens, but it can also be grown in containers and sunny areas, as long as the compost remains moist.
