Bleeding Heart ‘Alba’

Dicentra spectibilis 'Alba'

I love this plant, and wish I had more of them! (I know, that’s solvable, but I’m always suckered into spending the garden budget on sparkly new plants every year). This is an interesting variation on the typical Pink variety with the same hardiness. Pests pretty much ignore it!

    About Me

    Hi! I'm Lorie and I wrangle plants in a muddy, feral shade garden in the Pacific Northwest. I built this site to serve as a gardening journal and quasi-accurate record of planting successes and failures. My goal is to help "future me" be a better gardener. I hope what I've learned along the way can be useful to you too. Thanks for visiting!
