Lamprocapnos spectabilis Alba is a clump-forming herbaceous perennial with a mound of fleshy, divided pale green leaves and graceful arching stems. From late spring into early summer, pendent racemes carry pure white, heart-shaped flowers that create a luminous display in cool shade.
Grow it in fertile, humus-rich soil that stays evenly moist but drains freely, preferably in partial shade with protection from hot afternoon sun and strong wind. Top-dress with compost or apply a light amount of balanced, slow-release granular fertilizer when new growth appears in early spring. Water well after feeding if the season is dry, and avoid leaving the crown in wet winter soil.
Use this white bleeding heart in woodland gardens, cottage borders, shaded containers or cutting gardens, paired with Aquilegia, Astilbe and Athyrium to fill the space as its foliage retreats in summer. Let the leaves yellow naturally before tidying. All parts are poisonous if swallowed by people, cats or dogs, and repeated foliage contact can irritate skin, so wear gloves when handling.
