Bleeding Heart

Bleeding heart is a popular garden plant with drooping bright fuchsia-pink flowers.

This species is native to wet forests of Siberia, northern China, Korea & Japan and the first specimens were introduced into European gardens in 1840.

The flowers strikingly resemble the conventional heart shape, with a droplet beneath (hence its name).

German name : Tränendes Herz
Latin name : Lamprocapnos spectabilis (formerly Dicentra spectabilis)
