Plant of the Month April

April 1, 2025 by Samantha Willis

Plant of the Month April

Known as Bleeding Heart due to it’s lovely heart shaped flowers. One of the first herbaceous plants to flower in April. It doesn’t just come with pink heart shaped flowers but also white and red. The latin name is Lamprocapnos spectabilis (formerly Dicentra spectabilis).

Fun Fact why do plants have latin names? Plants have Latin names for a universal, precise, and unambiguous way to identify and classify them. There are no variations to the latin definitions. Although we do of course have our own country names for plants the latin names are known and understood by all plantsmen.
