Bleeding hearts (Dicentra spectabilis) are graceful perennials known for their arching stems lined with heart-shaped pink and white flowers. Blooming in spring, they thrive in partial shade and moist, well-drained soil, making them ideal for woodland or shade gardens.

After flowering, the foliage often fades in summer heat, so they're best paired with later-blooming companions that fill in when bleeding hearts fade.
