Bleeding Heart

Dicentra spectabilis-Latin for "Remarkable"

Dicentra spectabilis-Latin for "Remarkable"

New to my garden, is this delicate and tender plant. It is blooming right now under a sweeping double purple lilac tree in the front yard. Bleeding Heart also goes by the name Lady’s Locket, Lady’s Heart, and Lyre Flower. If you bend back the little lyre-shaped petals it will reveal a tiny, slightly scandelous Lady in the Bath (another common name).
