Lamprocapnos spectabilis 'King Of Hearts'

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 'King of Hearts' bears vigorous clumps of grey-green leaves, contrasting with clusters of delicate, dangling heart-shaped, red flowers. It's perfect for growing in shady, woodland gardens, but can also be grown in containers and sunny areas, as long as the compost/soil remains moist. Prolong flowering by removing faded blooms.
