Introducing Bleeding Heart Seeds
Bleeding Heart Seeds (Lamprocapnos spectabilis) are a delightful addition to any garden, featuring unique heart-shaped flowers that dangle gracefully. These seeds produce a perennial plant that thrives in partial to full shade, making it a classic choice for shaded areas.
Key Features
The Bleeding Heart plant showcases stunning pink flowers with white inner petals, blooming from late spring to early summer. Beyond its beauty, it has fern-like foliage that adds texture to your garden. Hardy in USDA Zones 3-9, it can be grown in various climates.
Growing Requirements
To grow Bleeding Heart plants successfully, they prefer rich, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. For best results, plant in early spring or fall, spacing them 18-24 inches apart to ensure good airflow.
Care Tips
After blooming, trim back any yellowing foliage and avoid cutting green stems, which store energy for future growth. While generally pest-free, watch for aphids or slugs. Pair with other shade-loving plants for a lush garden display.
