It's a type of Lipstick Salvia, not Bleeding Heart. There are many cultivars, some almost pure red and some with the red/white combo you have.

Blackcurrant Sage (
Salvia microphylla
'Hot Lips')
or, if shorter -
Salvia (
Salvia microphylla
'Little Kiss')
The amount of red and white on the flowers of both cultivars varies depending on conditions.

I believe that I found some pure red Salvia in among the Polish version that you were at pains to identify.

Perfectly normal.
Quote from link below.
"Salvia x jamensis 'Hot Lips' bears large, open-mouthed, bicoloured white and red blooms throughout summer, on compact, scented, bushy plants. In very hot weather some blooms may be fully red or white. "
