Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Like the popular and proven pink version, these white bleeding hearts are endlessly romantic and surprisingly easy to grow. Lovely mixed with either the pink or red, or both. Excellent foundation plantings for along the shady side of the house. Underplant with Lily of the Valley or trillium for a sparkling all-white garden.
