A List of Plants with Heart-Shaped Leaves That Bring a Little Joy When Found ♡

When you find something heart-shaped, it makes you a little happy♡

When you’re walking outside and come across cute flowers or somewhat rare plants, doesn't it make you feel a bit happy? ♡

It may sound like a typical poem, but it really does feel like “little bits of happiness are scattered in our mundane daily lives♡.”

Recently, I experienced such a wonderful moment.

It was when I found a 【heart-shaped leaf】.♡

I think women who love cute things will empathize, but how thrilling is it when something that isn’t originally heart-shaped happens to be shaped like a heart...!!

From leaves to heart-shaped rocks, heart-shaped fruits, heart-shaped clouds, and more♡.

It’s a miracle that natural and organic things appear heart-shaped. You can’t help but want to take pictures of them.

When I found such a rare and cute heart-shaped leaf, I thought,

“What kind of plant is this?”

“Are there other plants with heart-shaped leaves?”

So I looked it up and found out that there are surprisingly many plants that grow heart-shaped leaves! ♡

Let me introduce them to you.

Type of Heart Leaf ① Poplar

The first one I’d like to introduce is the Poplar＊

(Also referred to as Eucalyptus Poplar)

It’s a relative of eucalyptus, characterized by round leaves that grow into heart shapes as the tips intertwine.

Like eucalyptus, it’s often used in flower arrangements and is perfect for adding “greenery” to wedding bouquets and venue decorations! ♡

Type of Heart Leaf ② Katsura

It is said that the most common heart-shaped leaves in Japan are found on the Katsura tree.

This tree, which is often planted in mountains and parks, releases a sweet fragrance in autumn＊.

The bottom half of the heart-shaped leaves is plump and adorable.

When you find heart-shaped leaves growing on a tree, you could say, “Is this a Katsura?” from now on♩

Type of Heart Leaf ③ Maruba-noki

Maruba-noki is popular in Japan as well, following the Katsura tree, and has heart-shaped leaves♡

It’s a type of shrub that many people plant in their gardens, and it's said to be easy for beginners to grow.

In autumn, these leaves beautifully change from green hearts to bright red hearts＊.

Type of Heart Leaf ④ Umbrella Plant

The Umbrella Plant features large heart-shaped leaves.

It has a strong presence and is quite elegant♡

Many people use it for interior decoration.

It’s also familiar in wedding ceremonies as part of the “tree planting ceremony”＊.

With flower meanings like “health,” “love between couples,” and “eternal happiness,” the heart shape makes it a true symbol of happiness♡.
