Heads-Up: Emerging PlantsOne of the first perennials to shoot up from the ground this month is dicentra, commonly known as bleeding heart. The stems look a bit like peonies when they emerge, but they differ in that the entire plant will disappear by midseason. Choose a lime green variety to brighten up a shady corner of the garden and feel free to split one plant to make several. They're tough puppies.
Stray from the typical varieties of plants and test out their eye-catching lime relatives. This bleeding heart has a vibrant lime foliage that lights up the shadiest of spots. In my opinion, it totally trumps its classic dark green cousin.

bleeding hearts with lime green leaves in shady spots with all the darker greens around the house would be great
