Lamprocapnos

Lamprocapnos spectabilis, commonly known as bleeding heart or Asian bleeding heart, is a species of flowering plant belonging to the fumitory subfamily (Fumarioideae) of the Papaveraceae (poppy family). It is native to Northeast China and the Korean peninsula; however, it has been introduced by humans into a larger area of Northeast Asia, including parts of Siberia, Russia and Japan. It is the sole species in the monotypic genus Lamprocapnos, but is still widely sold under the obsolete name Dicentra spectabilis (now listed as a synonym), not to be confused with the North American native bleeding heart plants of the genus Dicentra. It is valued in flower gardens for the heart-shaped pink and white flowers it produces in spring.
