Wanted: Dutchman's Breeches

I went to PA for Easter where the Delaware Canal was beautiful with Dutchman's Breeches in bloom everywhere. I didn't want to take any from the wild but was hoping someone has this beauty blooming in their flower beds. I would love to swap for a small rooted plant. I have Sedum Autumn Joy, Lily of the Valley and Wild Cranesbill Geranium plants to trade.

Winter doldrums : Dicentra cucullaria - Dutchman's breeches
Q
Comments (1)
They are cute! I saw these in wv several times, but they are ephemeral. We have several dicentra here in Oregon, and some are uncommon. One that does very well is dicentra formosa oregana. These are very un-dicentra: they bloom from April through September and can take full sun. They turn a lovely blue in hot sun and their flowers change from cream to pink as they age. I have mine in part shade because they seem to do better in my yard there... But this seed was collected from a full sun specimen.
