Dicentra and my growing genus.

They are all lovely, I only have the common one but seeing yours I should like to add more.

Bloomer is going too, you might meet up!! Enjoy.

i cannot wait to go,will see what we find

These are gorgeous Seaburngirl. Hope you enjoy Harrogate ..always a fabulous show, but can be very cold sometimes !

I knew cinderella was going so I will look out for bloomer. which day are you going Ladybug/Judywolf?

I have never had a warm day in Harrogate even in the depths of summer :o) I will have layers on and sturdy/sensble shoes.

something [squirrel] has dug up my D. cuccularia grrrrr. it has quite a tuberous root so heres hoping it will resettle ok.

I was thinking of getting one for a 2ft x2ft space I have near the dining room door which gets the sun morning and evening.
Which one do you recommend I start with SBG.

Hi they are all beautiful. The one you dont know the name of is called Aurora. Lovely plant

Sadly I can't make it this spring but am hoping to get to the autumn show, so maybe if anybody is going then we could meet up ? Enjoy !

i can see why you love them Sea... i do to, lovely pics and hope you enjoy harrigate on saturday :o))

thanks for the name Lorettaf. I will add it to my plant profile.

I like the spectabilis when the arching flowers can be back lit, they positively glow. its about 2-3ft tall sometimes too. Easy to grow too Drc262.

I usually get to go in the autumn too Judywolf. I will try to enjoy Sanbaz :o)

Wonderful blog... such lovely varieties of dicentra... :o)

Such graceful plants Sbg, are they all quite large? My goldheart is a large plant, but I would love another from your selection if there was room:-)

spectabilis fills an area about 2ft by 21/2 ft tall I guess and it is the biggest of the ones I have. The spring magic is about 1ft tall but is spreading side ways by about 2ft. I suspect Luxuriant will be similar size.The formosa Aurora, the little white one is less than a ft tall and about 9" across at the moment.

Baccanal is like the spring magic for size and Valentine is a red form of the pinky spectabilis and looks to be similar size.

I am hoping to find more at Harrogate tomorrow :)

Ooooh goody plenty of room then:-)
