Care Guide

Excellent Pest and Disease Resistance

Generally Dicentras have no problems with pests or diseasesMORE

Water Regularly in Summer

Dicentras thrive in moist soil so you must ensure the ground does not dry out. During hot and dry periods this could require you having to water the plant as much as once a day in mid-summer.

Full Sun to Partial Shade

Plant somewhere where the plant will receive around 6 hours of direct sunlight every day.

Fertile, Well-Drained Soil

You will want to mix in plenty of organic matter such as garden compost into the soil before planting and more every spring. If your soil is particularly clay-heavy and easily becomes waterlogged, add some perlite into the soil to improve drainage.

Not Required

Don't worry, this isn't a hungry plant so your food bills won't be going up!
