Bleeding Heart
The Herbs

(Dicentra spectabilis or D. formosa) X

Gender: Feminine

Planet: Venus

Element: Water

Powers: Love

Magical Uses: Crush the flower. If the juice is red, your love has a heart full of love for you. But if it is white, he or she doesn’t love you. When grown, the plant brings love.

The bleeding heart, when grown indoors, has the reputation of producing negative vibrations. To forestall this, plant a coin in the soil and all will be right.
