Common bleedingheart is a perennial introduced garden herb known for its unique, heart-shaped flowers that dangle gracefully along arching flowering stalks. The flowers are usually deep-pink with white, although white-flowered varieties also exist. Blooming in late spring to early summer, these charming blooms attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The plant has fern-like, deeply cut leaves and thrives in shaded, woodland environments with well-drained, moist soils. Its distinctive and romantic appearance makes it a common choice for gardens and shaded borders.
