Description
Golden Bleeding Heart or Dicentra spectabilis Goldheart is a vigorous perennial with strong roots ideal for brightening a shady corner in spring thanks to its golden yellow foliage. Curved inflorescences with bright pink and white heart-shaped pendulous flowers appear from May to June, creating a stunning contrast with its foliage. During the summer, it enters dormancy, losing its foliage.
The Golden Bleeding Heart reaches 60 cm (24in) high and thrives in woodland environments. It easily grows under deciduous trees with soil that is moist in spring.
Dicentra spectabilis Goldheart has the same qualities as the species. It likes partial shade and deep, rich, and well-drained soils without excessive water, and is highly cold-resistant. Its little hearts add a charming touch to any spring border.
Behind colourful foliage like Purple Heucheras, and alongside Astrantias, Columbines, and tulips with a few cowslips in the foreground, it's a marvel! Most Bleeding Hearts go dormant at the end of spring, but this has no detrimental effect.

Planting and care
'Goldheart' Bleeding Heart (Dicentra spectabilis, now called Lamprocapnos spectabilis) is a perennial plant of cool understory in Asia, enjoying partial shade or light sun.
Its fleshy crown needs good garden soil to develop well: well-drained, humus-bearing, rich, and light. It can rot in clayey and heavy soil. It also does not like hot conditions and dry soil.
It is a plant that undergoes summer dormancy: after flowering in spring, the Bleeding Heart falls asleep with the first heat, and all its above-ground parts dry up and disappear until the following spring. This is completely normal and allows this species to survive the hottest periods without problems.
If your soil is too poor or sandy, you can add a good layer of dead leaves in autumn, which will enrich and loosen your beds after a few years. Avoid synthetic fertilizers that only enrich the soil in the short term.
Weekly watering is recommended during the first summer to aid establishment. Stop watering when the leaves turn yellow and disappear.
The tender leaves of the Bleeding Heart are also quite sensitive to slugs and snails at the beginning of growth. Place ashes, eggshells, or other organic barriers around the crown.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
