Bleeding Heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis) is a perennial native to Asia. It was introdued to Britain from Japan in the mid 19th century. We've enjoyed its heart shaped flowers for many years at One Love Farm. We plant Bleeding Heart in rich, moist soil with afternoon shade and they have thrived in these locations.
Thanks for your appreciation! I feel very strongly about the plight of our native bees and hope that this blog will help people identify them and want to help save them by growing nectar-rich plants in their gardens.
