Dicentra spectabilis ‘Alba’ – A Pure White Elegance for Shade Gardens

Dicentra spectabilis ‘Alba’, the white form of the beloved Bleeding Heart, is a graceful perennial that brings a serene, luminous beauty to spring and early summer gardens. Its arching stems are adorned with delicate, heart-shaped, pure white flowers that dangle like pearls above soft, feathery green foliage. A must-have for shaded borders and woodland settings, this elegant variety adds a touch of tranquility to any planting scheme.

Why Grow Dicentra spectabilis ‘Alba’?

Exquisite White Heart-Shaped Blooms – A fresh and elegant twist on the classic Bleeding Heart, with pure white, pendant-shaped flowers.

Delicate, Fern-Like Foliage – Soft, lacy green leaves create a beautiful textural contrast in shade gardens.

Thrives in Partial to Full Shade – An essential plant for brightening up woodland borders and shaded areas.

Pollinator-Friendly – Attracts bees and butterflies, making it a wonderful choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.

Hardy & Low Maintenance – A long-lived, easy-care perennial that returns reliably year after year.

Where to Site Your Dicentra spectabilis ‘Alba’

This shade-loving beauty thrives in dappled light and well-drained, humus-rich soil. It’s perfect for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and planting beneath trees or shrubs. It pairs beautifully with hostas, ferns, and astilbes, creating a soft and enchanting understory display.

How to Grow and Care for Your Dicentra spectabilis ‘Alba’

Soil – Prefers moist, well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with added organic matter.

Light – Grows best in partial shade but can tolerate deeper shade. It can handle full sun if the soil remains consistently moist.

Watering – Keep soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging.

Maintenance:

  • Mulch & Feed – Apply mulch in spring to help retain moisture and provide nutrients.
  • Cut Back After Flowering – The foliage may die back in midsummer; simply trim it back and allow it to rest until the next season.
  • Divide Every Few Years – If the clump becomes too large, divide it in early spring or autumn to maintain vigour.

Perfect Plant Combinations

Dicentra spectabilis ‘Alba’ pairs beautifully with other shade-loving plants like Hostas, Ferns, Brunnera, Astilbes, and Pulmonaria. For a striking contrast, combine with deep blue Forget-Me-Nots or soft pink Primroses.
