Dicentra spectabilis White Gold

When a new variation of an old favorite comes along, people sit up and take notice. This take on a well-known shade perennial has all the charm of traditional dicentra, or Bleeding Heart, with a whole new look that's sure to garner praise. It features snowy white, heart-shaped flowers that dangle gracefully from arching stems amid bright, golden leaves. White Gold is a carefree variety and is remarkably long lived in the garden. It makes a fine choice for shadowed borders, decorative containers and shady rock gardens. In fact, it's amazing in any darkened sites in the landscape. Butterflies love this fast-growing plant for its unique blooms.
