Lamprocapnos aka Dicentra Ivory Hearts - It is a bleeding heart cultivar that is perhaps best noted for its extended bloom period, particularly in cool summer climates, but is additionally noted for its compact shape, strong rhizomatous roots and conspicuous flowers appearing above the foliage. Primary bloom is from late April into June, with continued flowering that will slow down considerably or stop in the heat of the summer. When the temperatures cool in late summer to early fall, additional rebloom may occur. Plants grow in a low spreading mound to 8-12” tall and to 15” wide. Nodding, heart-shaped, ivory white flowers appear in panicles on leafless flower stems arching above deeply-cut, fern-like blue-green leaves. Family: Fumariaceae
