    Hello all

    Could someone please identify this Shrub for me?

    2018-05-28 14.11.02.jpg

    I was always led to believe it is 'Love Lies Bleeding' but when I did a search it does not look the same.

    Thanks in advance

    Kevin

        Just to confuse us Dicentra spectabile has had a name change.
        It is now Lamprocapnos spectabile.


        Lamprocapnos spectabilis - Google Search

        The shorter Dicentra are still Dicentra...it is just the tall one that has changed names.
