Bleeding heart

Lamprocapnos spectabilis

Check your plant’s identity

Does the label say Lamprocapnos spectabilis or Dicentra spectabilis (bleeding heart)? Fringed or western bleeding heart (Dicentra eximia, Dicentra formosa), low ferny hybrids such as 'Burning Hearts', and Dutchman's breeches are different plants. If the label is missing or unclear, choose I'm not sure.

Important precautions

All parts of this plant are poisonous if eaten, for people and for pets. The leaves and sap can irritate skin, so wear gloves when handling it. If someone eats part of it, contact poison control; if a pet does, contact your vet.
