Blooms are ivory white hearts nodding above the leaves. Slightly fragrant. The Hearts Series offers clusters of large flowers in rich colours set off by lush, fern-like foliage. Compact, mounding plants stay neat and tidy. Blooms for months with a summer rest period.

A precocious bloomer and excellent hybrid Bleeding Heart. This has big sculptural white flowers held over finely divided foliage. This blooms for months so you get some real bang for your Dicentra buck and is fairly sun tolerant as well. Plus it is one ivory that is politically correct to own. PP15599
