Gold Heart Bleeding Heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis ‘Gold Heart’)

Gold Heart Bleeding Heart is a shade-loving perennial valued for its striking golden foliage and classic heart-shaped pink flowers. This cultivar, now classified as Lamprocapnos spectabilis, is widely used for its bold foliage contrast and early-season bloom.

This herbaceous perennial forms an arching clump of finely divided, bright yellow-gold leaves. In late spring to early summer, it produces elegant, pendulous pink flowers with white inner petals that hang along arching stems. The blooms attract pollinators and create a soft, romantic look in shaded garden spaces.

Gold Heart Bleeding Heart is well-suited for shaded borders, woodland gardens, and underplanting. Its bright foliage helps illuminate darker areas of the landscape and pairs well with other shade perennials.
