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.

Sun Requirements ▾

Partial shade to shade. Morning sun followed by afternoon shade is ideal, providing enough light to maintain vibrant golden foliage while protecting the plant from intense midday and afternoon heat. Avoid hot, exposed locations where the foliage may scorch or the plant may enter summer dormancy earlier.

Watering Instructions ▾

Moderate. Keep the soil consistently moist during spring and active growth without allowing it to become waterlogged. Regular moisture can help prolong the foliage display, particularly during warm weather. Reduce watering once the plant naturally enters dormancy.

Care Tips ▾

Plant in fertile, humus-rich, well-draining soil and apply mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and keep the soil cool. Remove spent flower stems after blooming if desired, but allow healthy foliage to remain until it naturally yellows and dies back. Consider planting alongside later-emerging perennials that can fill the space if the Bleeding Heart becomes dormant during summer. A moisture meter is a great way to gauge your plant's moisture levels.
