Dicentra spectabilis 'Alba'

(Mature Size: 30"T x 24-36"W)

• Every bit as charming as the pink form, 'Alba' forms large, bushy clumps of powdery-light green foliage comprised of cut or lobed leaves on fleshy stems.
• In late spring, chains of puffy, white, heart-shaped flowers dangle beneath the arching, leafless stems.
• These racemes make delightful additions to fresh bouquets, lasting about 2 weeks in a vase. In cooler climates with adequate moisture, the bloom time may be extended into early summer.
• After putting on this fantastic display, Old-Fashioned Bleeding Hearts usually go dormant until the following spring.
• However, if plants are kept well-watered during the spring, dormancy may be delayed until late summer or early fall.

Why Should I Grow It? Adds early season color before the hostas fully emerge.

Dicentra is most at home in woodland settings. It likes rich, loose soil that is evenly moist but also well-drained.

At planting time, add lots of compost, humus, or peat moss to the soil to enhance its water retention capabilities.

Plants will not grow well in heavy clay soils.
