Bleeding Heart (Dicentra)

Bleeding Heart is a graceful, perennial plant known for its heart-shaped flowers that dangle delicately from arching stems. The blooms are typically pink, red, or white, and the plant’s lush, fern-like foliage adds texture to shady garden spaces. Bleeding Heart is a perfect choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or as a specimen plant. It thrives in cool, moist environments and is an excellent early-season bloomer that adds charm and color before many other plants begin to flower.
