spring bleeding hearts

                                 
splendid in both my colonial garden and my backyard shade garden, bleeding hearts fill the early season spaces with beautiful sturdy pink and white hearts.  both species of bleeding hearts are fascinating to see emerge quickly over a week when warmer temperatures heat up the soil.

although these plants will die back after the spring season, the area can be filled with goat's beard, astilbe, or even ferns in a shade garden.  i have surrounded my plants with these and they seem to compliment the space well creating another season of blooms.
