Full Product Details

Product Information

The ‘Alba’ produces masses of delicate white, heart-shaped flowers in late spring every year, each tipped with an elegant teardrop. The branches spread into arching sprays of unique blooms in a beautiful display to fill your garden.

Also known as Bleeding Heart, these are perfect for planting at the front of a shady border, and make eye-catching additions to cottage gardens - try planting with rose bushes. A compact and reliable habit means the Alba is also great in pots, for unbeatable displays.

Fully winter hardy and super-easy to grow, Alba is a perennial plant so although it dies back underground each summer, you can be assured that each year your plant will come back bigger and stronger, giving you show-stopping displays every spring.

Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.

Best of all, it is one of the easiest to grow of all perennials and requires very little maintenance.

Supplied as two established plants in 9cm pots, ready to plant.

Top Tips

These will become dormant in summer, so are best planted among other plants which will take over as the plants retreat underground.

Care Information

  • Best grown in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in a semi-shaded position, avoiding exposed locations. Will grow perfectly well in a sunny border, you will just need to makre sure that it is kept watered regularly to prevent leaf scorch.
  • Plants may need staking to support the branches.
  • As the plant dies back over summer, the leaves will yellow and the stems will wither - at this point you can cut them down to ground level, and you may get a second flush of feathery green leaves.
  • When new growth emerges in spring, add a slow-release fertiliser to the soil to encourage longer blooming.
