Came with a Dicentra label although it has been renamed. RHS is still using old name on Google with Syn Dicentra Bacchanal. For a shade position. From Longstock plant Fair. Still in a pot stood in the shady border at present.

I bought this last year, but no sign of it. I think slugs ate mine.

About 50% of my 'Bacchanal' have appeared. I'm trying to carpet a corner of the foliage garden with them but it's looking a bit threadbare at the moment

They seem to do well for me. I've 3 spectablis, 2 formosa the common pink and the very prolific grey leaved white, Oh, and the climbing yellow scandens, now called Dactylicarpnos.

I think I need grey leaved, white flower Dicentra formosa in my life :-)
Prolific is good for me.

Since altering the garden we have only one left the white......which is obviously fairly tough...

A good patch of these is so lovely to see.

Mine still in its pot, actually a bigger one, waiting to see that the spot I've chosen doesn't have a Trifolium yet to emerge.

Still in its pot, actually a bigger one, waiting to see if the spot I've chosen for its new home doesn't have an Oxalis living there, waiting to emerge.
