Bleeding Heart May

 
 
Bleeding Heart(Dicentra) is a real Old Time Favorite.  It was in everyone's garden at one time, but seems to be less common now.  I know that the newer varieties available have become more common, but this is my favorite.  Loves shade, and it really appreciates good soil.  I had this in Maine.  My house had been the site of a stable and forge for a couple of centuries.  The soil was black as pitch and incredibly rich and moist.  The Bleeding Heart grew nearly ten feet tall.....WOW!
