Lamprocapnos spectabilis 'Alba' syn. Dicentra spectabilis 'Alba'

“My bleedin’ heart” 🎶 This song has been going round my head all morning...turns out it’s “Your cheatin’ heart” 🙄

🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂

😂😂😂 I do love the white one 🤍

Don’t give up your day job Jacqueline.....😆😉

Me too. And it has done much better than the red or the pink ones 💚🤍💚 @juliesgarden

6 May 2018 • ...then I read that ‘Alba’ was more robust than the usual pink and white #lamprocapnos So I succumbed a second time 😉

😁😁 I have this one but no sign of flowers this year. Might need repotting.

That’s a shame. I’m no expert but I hope that does it. The flowers are so wonderful @ublaszko

I'm not really sure but it could also be because of last year's drought. It died back sooner than it was supposed so perhaps it doesn't have enough energy to flower this year. It's a shame but I have other new plants I'm enjoying atm.

I wondered the same as when I saw them recently at Cambridge Botanic Gardens they were growing by the side of a stream, so I presume they like a bit of damp 🤔 @ublaszko

Alba is beautiful, I have two now. Neil accidentally trod on one and I thought it was a gonner so he replaced it, and now it’s flowering really well again 😍😍

I hope so too 🤞Have you taken cuttings of it before Lin? @linfoster

When I read they were robust I hadn’t realised quite how robust 😉😂 @pelly

He totally flattened it, I was amazed when it started flowering again!! 😄😄

My favourite one 💚 shame mine has disappeared

That is such a shame. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this one ☝️ @rachelbrooks

Good luck. I might have to try too - if I can find any bits that don’t have flowering shoots! @linfoster
