Notes
'Gold Heart' bleeding heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis 'Gold Heart') is a perennial for shade gardens, woodland edges, cottage gardens, and borders. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and dry to moist soil of most types. Rose-pink flowers open in spring and again in summer, and hummingbirds and bees visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Pair it with other shade lovers for a layered look.
Pairs well with Blue wood aster, Canadian white violet, and Autumn crocus.
