Lamprocapnos spectabilis (bleeding heart or Asian bleeding-heart) is a species of flowering plant in the poppy family Papaveraceae, native to Siberia, northern China, Korea and Japan. It is the sole species in the monotypic genus Lamprocapnos, but is still widely referenced under its old name Dicentra spectabilis (now listed as a synonym).
New Dicentra plants can be propagated by 3-6 root cuttings. which can be taken in the spring or fall. Bleeding Heart seeds should be sown while they are fresh. If your winter season includes 6-8 weeks of freezing weather, you can sow seeds of Dicentra spectabilis directly into your garden in the late fall.
