Bleeding Heart Flower

 Bleeding Heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis), a captivating perennial plant, is renowned for its unique, heart-shaped flowers that dangle gracefully from arching stems. These delicate blooms, typically pink with a white tip, resemble tiny hearts with a droplet beneath, giving the plant its common name. The flowers appear in late spring to early summer, creating a stunning display in shaded gardens or woodland settings. The plant’s foliage is equally attractive, featuring fern-like, soft green leaves that provide a lush backdrop to the striking blooms. Bleeding Hearts thrive in well-drained, moist soil and prefer partial to full shade, making them an ideal choice for adding elegance and charm to shaded garden areas.
