Low on hearts means the warning beep is on: half a heart or less when Link has 3 to 5 hearts in all, 1 heart or less with 6 to 8, 2 hearts or less with 9 to 11, and 3 hearts or less with 12 to 14.

Each of these kills also counts toward a Piece of Power.

In the guide books

Piranha Plant in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Player's Guide
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Player's Guide, p. 99.

Just as in a Mario game, the Piranha is vulnerable only when it sticks its blossom out of the pipe. That's when you attack.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Player's Guide, Nintendo of America, 1993, p. 99.

A strange flower that, for some reason, grows in pipes. It's a busy one, always popping its head out and pulling it back in. Slash the flower part and you can beat it even while it's inside the pipe.
