Dicentra (Lamprocapnos) spectabilis 'Alba'
White Bleeding Heart
In late spring to early summer ‘Alba’ is covered in white heart-shaped flowers that dangle from arching stems. Prefers partial shade as it doesn’t like to dry out. Plants that don’t receive adequate shade and/or moisture will go dormant mid-summer. Not as vigorous as Dicentra spectabilis.
