Bleeding Heart

Pink bleeding heart.  It is a popular perennial that grows 24 to 36 inches tall with a spread of 18 to 24 inches.
They are pink and white heart-shaped flowers on a long arching stem. They appear in spring and summer. 
There are 20 species of annuals and perennials. They are admired for their feathery leaves and  the graceful arch of the stems.  They need a period of winter chill.  The flowers come in red, pink, white, purple and yellow.

White bleeding heart

Both pink and white.  Notice how the flower is shaped like a heard, and appears to have something coming  out of it from the bottom.
