Lamprocapnos spectabilis

Lamprocapnos spectabilis is native to Japan. It grows 2 – 3 ft tall and blooms in late spring with rose pink heart shaped flowers that dangle from long leafless stems. There is an inner petal protruding from the bottom of each heart shaped flower which is reminiscent of a drop of blood and gives the plant the name “bleeding heart”. It is attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies while resistant to deer and rabbits. It is hardy in zones 3 – 9.
