Goldheart Bleeding Heart

‘Gold Heart’ is a golden-leaved selection of Old-Fashioned Bleeding Heart, with pink-and-white heart-shaped flowers held on arching stems in late spring. Its bright spring foliage makes a clear focal point in partial or full shade, then softens in color as the season advances. ## Garden Use Place the clump in a woodland border or shaded container in fertile soil that stays evenly moist and drains freely. Walters Gardens describes mature plants at 18–24 inches tall and 24–36 inches wide, with USDA hardiness zones 3–9; its exact [‘Gold Heart’ profile](https://www.waltersgardens.com/variety.php?ID=DICGH) confirms the yellow leaves, pink flowers, shade exposure, and late-spring bloom. ## Seasonal Care The plant may go dormant after its spring display. Keep soil moist through active growth and use hosta, geranium, or sedge nearby to cover the space if foliage fades; the [Walters Gardens notes](https://www.waltersgardens.com/variety.php?ID=DICGH) describe this seasonal pattern. Let leaves yellow before removing them, avoid disturbing the fleshy crown, and maintain moisture during spring without leaving soil waterlogged. ## Maintenance
