This is a late spring blooming perennial which typically grows to 24-36″ tall and to 18-24″ wide. Nodding, puffy, heart-shaped, rose-pink flowers with protruding white inner petals begin bloom in spring before the leaves emerge. Flowers dangle downward at regular intervals beneath long arching stems. Compound, biternate green leaves.Synonymous with and formerly known as Dicentra spectabilis. Specific epithet means spectacular or showy. The common name is in reference to the protruding white inner petal on each heart-shaped flower which purportedly gives the flower the appearance of a “bleeding heart”. ProblemsNo serious insect or disease problems. Some susceptibility to aphid infestations. Good soil drainage is essential for plant survival. Foliage goes dormant in summer.UsesBest for the shaded border or woodland garden. Because foliage goes dormant, it is best to plant this bleeding heart through a loose ground cover or among later developing perennials such as hostas and ferns which will fill in as the bleeding heart foliage begins to die back.
