You've likely seen a Bleeding Heart (Dicentra) before and cooed at the pretty pink hearts dangling from arching limbs. However, this old-fashioned perennial could use a little upgrade--brilliant, clear red color makes Valentine's heart-shaped flowers all the more romantic and exciting. The benefit of the dicentra spectabilis is that it's a shade-lover that'll provide a focal point in an often-overlooked area of the garden. Dicentra spectabilis 'HORDIVAL' PP22739
