Bleeding Heart

Lamprocapnos spectabilis 'Hordival' is also known as Lamprocapnos spectabilis 'Valentine'. It grows 16 -18 inches tall and blooms in late spring to early summer. The heart shaped flowers are cherry red and hang from long, arching leafless stems. Each flower has an inner petal protruding from the bottom which is reminiscent of a drop of blood, thus giving the plant the name “bleeding heart”. The foliage is gray green and fernlike. The flowers are attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies while resistant to deer and rabbits. The plant is hardy in zones 3 – 8.
