Climbing bleeding heart

Dicentra scandens

UPDATE 2021: It took a while for this to get established, but now it’s growing like mad.

 

John was enamored with this little vine so we picked it up and I planted it on our North Side garden trellis. This little trooper always comes up a little later than the 2 clematis varieties on that structure and it’s fun to see the small yellow flowers start to emerge among the bigger, bolder vine leaves.

    About Me

    Hi! I'm Lorie and I wrangle plants in a muddy, feral shade garden in the Pacific Northwest. I built this site to serve as a gardening journal and quasi-accurate record of planting successes and failures. My goal is to help "future me" be a better gardener. I hope what I've learned along the way can be useful to you too. Thanks for visiting!
