About the Bleeding Heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis):

Originally native to the woodlands and shaded rocky areas of Siberia, northern China, Korea, and Japan, Lamprocapnos spectabilis — formerly classified as Dicentra spectabilis — has been a beloved garden ornamental in the West since the 1840s. Its common name comes from the distinctive heart-shaped flowers that dangle in rows from gracefully arching stems, each blossom appearing to drip a single petal "tear" from its base. A member of the poppy family (Papaveraceae), the bleeding heart thrives in cool, moist, partially shaded conditions and has become naturalized in parts of North America and Europe.
