Formerly known as Dicentra, and commonly known as Bleeding Heart, Lamprocapnos spectabilis is a classic plant for a cottage garden or edge of woodland plant. Instantly recognisable with its dainty, bobbing hearts arranged in an arching line, this is the white variety, and as pretty as the more familiar standard pink in our opinion.
Lamprocapnos is a rhizomatous perennial that gradually spreads to form a clump and is ideal for bringing light to a dark area of border.
A recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence in the garden.
