Tell Me More...
Lamprocapnos spectabilis ‘Valentine’ is a recently new addition to the ‘Bleeding Hearts’ family, and what a romantic name. Up to fifteen, nodding, pink-red heart-shaped flowers gracefully hang from each dark red arching stem over clumps of attractive, fern-like foliage. There occurs some die back after flowering, allowing the summer and autumn perennials more room to perform. Lamprocapnos spectabilis ‘Valentine’ is one of the most elegant garden perennials for shady areas, known for their graceful heart-shaped flowers. When you pick a flower, turn it upside down and squeeze - you will see the reason children have named this plant, ‘Lady in the Bath’. (The ‘lady’ throws her arms up in horror at being spied in her bathtub!) Originating on the edges of cool woodlands in Asia and North America, Lamprocapnos became one of the most popular plants for gardens in the 1800’s and are still much-loved today. Lamprocapnos are very easy to grow, are deer and rabbit resistant and prefer to be in moist soil in partial shade, although they will grow in sun as long as the soil doesn’t dry out. Growing to a height of 75cm and spread approximately 50cm, Lamprocapnos spectabilis ‘Valentine’ is a hardy (H6) perennial, which means you will be enjoying them for years to come without the need for any winter protection.
