This herbaceous vine requires more sun than its other Dicentra relatives, which is critical for proper blooming, which it will do repeatedly all summer if it is content.
It is more brittle in constitution than a Clematis and is best left to its own devices as far as training. This also makes it rather ugly and difficult in a nursury setting, which will maintain it as a relatively rare plant.

Attractive frosty patches in the center of the leaflets.
