I don't think that's Dicentra spectablis, it looks like a climber I grow originally called Dicentra scandens, but more recently the taxonomists renamed it Dactylicapnos scandens . At the same time they also split Dicentra spectabalis out of Dicentra and renamed it Lamprocapnos spectabalis and left the Dicentra with Dicentra exima and Dicentra formosa among others.

Now you see the confusion that can be caused by common names. Two very different plants with the same common name.

Two Yellow 'Bleeding-hearts' deserve a third. Dactylicapnos scandens and Corydalis lutea, are really only two of many species in the Poppy Family (Papaveraceae) with yellow, zygomorphic flowers. Another one worthy of mention is Ehrendorferia chrysantha.

Also sometimes called Golden Bleeding-hearts , but more commonly known as Golden Ear-drops (Ehrendorferia chrysantha, formerly Dicentra chrysantha) is a perennial herb native to (Alta) California in the U.S. and northern Baja California in Mexico. It commonly appears in areas burned by wild fires, as its seed require exposure to smoke charate in order to germinate.

Yes, perennial cultivars with lutescent leaves in shades of gold, chartreuse, and lime are excellent ways to add brightness in a shade garden planting. The plant pictured above is likely White Gold Bleeding Heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis 'White Gold').

I might still have the tag near it. (MIGHT, LOL). Also have some gold, and chartreuse hostas in that area dotting about, for pops of brightness, but not near the bleeding heart, want no competition. Our whole garden is focused on shade mostly, few areas I can plant sun loving plants.
