Lamprocapnos, previously known as Dicentra, are the jewel in the crown of the late spring garden. Delicate Dicentra (currently known as Lamprocapnos) has held a place in gardener’s affections since Victorian times, and you can see why—to come across this plant in a shady corner is a real delight, the elegantly arching stems bearing a profusion of striking heart-shaped, pendent flowers. Their popularity shows no signs of diminishing—there are very few other shade-tolerant plants that can offer such impressive colour and form, making Dicentra (commonly known as bleeding heart) a perfect choice for any late spring garden. With a plenty of moisture, this rhizomatous perennial will come back year upon year to form a mound of lush green leaves and a reliably beautiful display of flowers!
