Dicentra spectabilis ‘Alba’, or white bleeding heart, is a perennial plant noted for its heart-shaped white flowers that bloom in spring and early summer.  It grows to 100cm and with a 80cm spread, it features delicate fern-like blue-green leaves.

This plant prefers partial to full shade and thrives in well-drained, moist, organic soil. It needs regular watering, a balanced fertilizer in spring, and pruning after flowering to maintain health.

Ideal for shaded areas, woodland gardens, or mixed borders, the ‘Alba’ variety adds elegance and visual interest to gardens, making it a low-maintenance choice.
