The white lamprocapnos is huge this year, it's doing much better in the shade than the pink ones are doing in the sun. I'll have to think about moving them to a shader spot 🤍 #lamprocapnos-spectabilis-alba #dicentraspectabilis-alba #bleeding-heart-alba

Beautiful Jane 🤍🤍🤍

Thanks Enid, it’s surpassed itself this year 🤍 @godfreye

I've found they are much happier in the shade

I have the pink ones, they are growing in full sun. I have just bought and planted, an Alba in a spot with a bit of shade and three Cupids in semi-shade. Will be interesting to see how they all grow.

Yes, so it would seem. The instructions on here actually say full sun to partial shade which I researched and found to be wrong. It’s a bit misleading isn’t it 🤔 @joannie.a

Definitely Celina, I’ll be interested to see how they all go 🤔 @cee

Mines about 3ft tall now and loving its full sun spot, moved the pink one into the ground and it's doing better

I’m getting very confused…full sun to partial shade or partial shade 🤔😂 @hebelover

Seems to depend on the individual plant 😂

After watching GW on Friday night? They have changed the name

A bit contrary, like me 😂😂😂 @hebelover

Morning everyone, have a great day and enjoy the promised warmth that’s coming our way. Both of my bleeding heart plants will be flowering soon, the garden is an exciting place to be at the moment 🤍 #bleeding-heart-alba #lamprocapnos-spectabilis-alba

Morning Jane… certainly is , plants popping up all over … let’s hope there’s not a late frost 😬

Morning Julie. That’s what I keep thinking, there’s time yet and we’ve not really had much of a winter 🥺 @juliesgarden

Yep that’s what worries me too !

Morning Jane. Do miss both of mine ....left them when I moved. Keep looking at them online 👋😍

I bet you do. You need to press the buy button 😂 @flof1952

🤣😂 I do don't I Jane @pelly

Morning Jane, you too 💖

Morning Ange, thank you 🙏 @anges

Ohh exciting, it won’t be long now 🤍 #lamprocapnos-spectabilis-alba #bleeding-heart-alba

Not long at all 😛 my white one has barely broken through the soil 😅

Once they’re through they grow so quickly so yours won’t be long 🤍 @kez001uk

@pelly the rate things grow this time of year is crazy! Literally overnight, and still amazes me 🤯

I’ve never seen a seed pod on any of my dicentras before. I hope I catch it right when it ripens 😊 #dicentraalba #seed-pod #dicentra-seed-pod

That’s interesting, Jane. I’ve never seen one either so I’ll have a good look at mine from now on. 🤞😘

I shall definitely keep checking mine now, this was the only one I could see. Apparently it can take a couple of years from germination to get flowers but it’s got to be worth a try Barbara 👍😍 @jacaranda

Morning Jane 😊💚

Morning Ange 🙋♀️ @anges

Morning Bill, apparently he’s well and just taking a break. He commented on someone’s post the other day. I wish he’d hurry back to us, we all miss him and his brilliant posts @BillWatson

Morning Jane! Lovely to see...

I’d love to Elise 😍👍 @auricula @BillWatson @scaryskates

😂🤣 I hope you find it Jason. Neither of my pink ones have appeared. I will just have to invest in some more 🙄👍 @Jasonsparkes1

Blimey haven’t even seen shoots on mine Jane 😲...morning 👍🏻😂

Blimey indeed. No signs of my pink ones though Julie 🤔 @juliesgarden

You're welcome Bill @BillWatson 👍

I'm looking forward to seeing it @Jasonsparkes1 💞

You’re welcome @slj 👍👍

My new Dicentra Alba bought for me because a “certain someone” trod on mine and broke every stem! A few 🤬🤬 were said at the time #dicentra #dicentraspectabilisalba #bleeding-heart #white 12/4/19

Oops! 😬🙈

Oops indeed!!! @rachelbrooks 😱😂

Oh dear 😬 but at least you have a replacement 😉

Whoops. 👞👞

😂😂😂👍

It was very whoops when I saw it Nicola @jendren 😡🤪

Thanks Debra @debrascott 🙄🙄

There is so much #newgrowth in my garden and it’s wonderful to see. Stay safe if you are in the path of storm Freya, my garden is in lock down ready for her, let’s hope none of us have any damage 💨💨 #dicentraalba #white 3/3/19

Shows I don’t watch television or the news lol. Morning Jane didn’t know there was a storm brewing lol 😂💐💐💐 yes we had hours of fun in the garden yesterday as we have had a lovely dry week.

Morning Wayne, I would check your area out, it’s supposed to get really rough. Make sure everything is secure in your garden if you are in it’s path @wtwitchell6969 👍👍

Morning Jane. My pink one has lots of new growth too .....can't wait to see it in full bloom again. Take care 👋🙂🌬

Looks like we be getting abit. Hey ho that’s nature. Fingers crossed 🤞 everyone stays safe. 💐

Morning Jane, fingers crossed for us all 🤞

Morning Pauline, yes my two pink ones are the same, I’m really looking forward to seeing them again, they’re such lovely plants @flof1952 🌸🌸

Morning Jeremy, get on with your packing, never mind us 😂 and I hope your garden is safe @jpea 👍👍

@pelly yes mum! 😁

Morning Jane enjoy if you can...👍🏼😘

Morning Elaine, it should be ok this morning, my app says it's going to hit here about 2pm so you will be about the same @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom 🍃💨

Think it's getting worse over night here 💨💨💨

Pretty maids all in a row 😍😍

My white one didn’t flower at all this year 😏

This was a damaged aka reduced price one from a NT property. It looked rather bedraggled when I got it but a tidy up and feed has worked it’s magic. Sorry to hear yours didn’t flower, they are a refreshing change from the pink ones @lexijane 👍👍

Forgot to catalogue this , I got it from Clumber Park on the way home from Harrogate Spring Show and it looked very sorry for itself, but a little tlc has rewarded me with with a few lovely flowers 😍

💚💚💚

I love the white ones😍

Evening Jane @pelly Love the white ones also 💚😍😘

Lovely, I can't wait to get an all white one! @pelly

It’s gorgeous Jane 😍
Morning everyone. My #bleeding-heart-alba is shooting up at a rate of knots. The pink is only just showing, it’s always a bit later 🤍 #lamprocapnos-spectabilis-alba
Morning Jane .. blimey your plants are on fast forward , mine aren’t even breaking ground 😂 .. love these 🤍
Morning Julie. This one is in quite a sheltered spot but I've looked back to last year and it's about three weeks earlier than it was last year 🤍 @juliesgarden
Morning Angela. This is in a shady spot and does better than my pink one that's in a sunny spot. It's very confusing 🤔 @italydiva
Morning Jane, it’s so lovely to see the fresh growth 💚
Morning Jeremy Elise. A taste of things to come 🤞💚 @Auricula
Bleeding Nora they’re bursting through…..👌🏼
😂😂😂 @columbiariver
My White one is in Sun, and the Pink one in shade!! 😂
😂😂😂 @hebelover
Same with mine, pink is way behind. But Cupid is almost in flower! 🤯
They definitely have their own agenda don't they 🙄😂 @kez001uk
