Overview

Arching sprays of dainty, pure white, heart-shaped flowers appear in late spring above fern-like, fresh green leaves. Easy to grow, this elegant bleeding heart is ideal for illuminating a woodland garden or as part of a cottage garden scheme - and provided the ground is kept reasonably moist, 'Alba' will thrive in full sun or partial shade.

Specifications

  • Position: full sun or partial shade
  • Soil: moist, humus-rich, preferably neutral to slightly alkaline
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Flowering period: April to May
  • Hardiness: fully hardy

Care guide

Lamprocapnos are happy in any good garden soil that's fertile but not too heavy. Enrich the soil with plenty of leaf mould before planting and apply a mulch in autumn too. A light fertilising in March will help enormously.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
