Description of the plant bleeding hearts biome.?

Different species of bleeding hearts live in different biomes:





" The garden flower Dicentra spectabilis (Linnaeus) Lemaire is cultivated through temperate North America Europe and eastern Asia. It was introduced in Europe only in the middle of the 19th century, but it has been cultivated for centuries in temperate China and Japan, where it is now so widespread that the limits of its natural distribution are obscure. It does not appear to be truly naturalized in North America, but it may be encountered as a transitory garden relict or escape. It differs from D. ochroleuca and D. chrysantha in having rose-purple to pink or sometimes white outer petals, pendent flowers, and reticulate seeds with elaiosomes ."
