Family fumariaceae
Life cycle perennial
Flowers pink/white (spring)
Size 2-3'
Light sun-part shade
Cultural notes ordinary garden soil

No garden would be complete without at least one old-fashioned bleeding heart. We have just one, and look forward to its return every year. From the earliest emerging foliage to the splendor of the mid-spring blooms, it brightens up the spring garden. By mid-summer, it has gone into dormancy, its place in the garden taken up by bolder neighbors.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: side garden, bogside border

One or more images of this plant are included in my stock photo catalog
