Dicentra spectabilis 'Pink', also known as *Lamprocapnos spectabilis*, is a stunning perennial commonly referred to as Bleeding Heart. Native to Asia, this plant is cherished for its gracefully arching stems adorned with delicate, heart-shaped pink flowers that appear in spring and early summer.

Growing up to 60-90 cm (24-36 inches) in height and spreading about 45-60 cm (18-24 inches), Dicentra spectabilis 'Pink' forms an elegant clump of deeply lobed, fern-like green foliage. The foliage remains attractive until midsummer when the plant enters dormancy, especially in warmer climates. For extended visual interest, it can be paired with shade-loving perennials that will fill the space once it dies back.

The pendulous, pink flowers of this variety bloom along arching stems, creating a romantic, cascading effect in shaded gardens. These blooms are highly ornamental and attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The plant thrives in partial to full shade and prefers rich, well-draining soil with consistent moisture. It is ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or cottage-style landscapes.

Dicentra spectabilis 'Pink' is relatively low-maintenance but benefits from mulching and occasional watering during dry periods. Hardy in USDA zones 3-9, it is resistant to deer and rabbits, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. When planted in the right conditions, it returns reliably each year, bringing a touch of elegance and nostalgia to any garden.

A classic favorite in shaded landscapes, Dicentra spectabilis 'Pink' is perfect for adding graceful beauty to any garden setting. Its unique heart-shaped blooms and easy-care nature make it a must-have for perennial enthusiasts.
