Fumariaceae
Syn.: Dicentra spectabilis 'Gold Heart
ORIGIN: Garden Origin
USDA PLANT HARDINESS ZONE: 5-8
SOIL: Moderately Moist.
EXPOSURE: Part-Full Shade
GENERAL HABIT: Herbaceous perennial emerging from
fleshy roots.. Plant grows to 36” high x 30” wide.

red in very early spring and unfurl to a bright yellow
color.
FLOWER: March-April. Pendulous, heart shaped, pink
and white flowers on arching racemes.
COMMENTS:
An outstanding shade plant ever bit as reliable as the
common green-leafed Bleeding Heart. While most
commonly known as Dicentra spectabilis, botanist have
reclassified this plant as its own genus, Lamprocapnos.
Thrives in moist, organic soils, but can also withstand
moderately dry shade. Somewhat of a spring ephemeral, it
may go dormant during the warm summer months and
return the following spring.
