![]() ![]() Once called the finest hardy plant of the 19th century, bleeding heart soon became as “common as a wallpaper pattern.” Today, this perennial is in favor because it is easy to grow and nothing surpasses its attention-getting form: graceful arching, 3-foot stems adorned with dangling pink, red, or white flower hearts. Learn when to plant bleeding heart, how to care for it, and other tips in our growing guide. This hardy plant blooms prolifically in early spring and finishes its growing cycle when warm weather sets in. ![]() Lamprocapnos spectabilis (L.)

The genus Dicentra includes plants whose flowers and leaves grow on stems directly from the roots. Seeds with elaiosomes are borne in long capsules. Native to Northeastern Asia's chilly, wet forests, bleeding heart flowers grow in dappled shade, whereas if grown in poorly drained soil and intense shadows they will not bloom or survive. ![]() The stamens and pistil are held between the inner petals. Each of the two compound stamens is composed of one median and two lateral half stamens fused together. In other genera with bisymmetric heart-shaped flowers ( Lamprocapnos, Dactylicapnos, Ichtyoselmis, Ehrendorferia), leaves grow on stems as well as from the root. In Dicentra, all leaves are in a basal rosette, and flowers are on leafless stalks. The flowers are bisymmetric: the two outer petals are spurred or pouched at the base and curved outwards or backwards at the tip, and the two inner ones with or without a crest at the tip.
