what does a day squid do at night ... octopus up??? do you have somewhat mature plants in hand.. i cant believe you have babes ... this time of year ... if so.. presume they will be about the same size next year .. maybe a bit bigger ... and plant them however it is pleasing to your eye ... and if it doesnt work out.. move them next fall ... the biggest lesson a newbie can learn.. is that a garden is not really a plant and forget system .. it is not static ... and they often lose focus on reality.. by focusing on perfect INITIAL placement ... remove from pot.. insert roots down .. water properly .. and if you dont like the placement next season.. move them elsewhere.. that is how your thumbs get green ... or.. actually.. brown ... from playing in the soil ... you should be able to easily google IMAGES of the plants.. and get ideas for spacing ... and how size relates to what is in your hands .... i will do the first one for you.. see link ... ken Here is a link that might be useful: scrolling down the pix.. looking for individual plants.. i would suggest 12 to 18 inches.. for spacing.. but if you want crowded.. go for 8 to 12 ....

I have a lot of shade underneath my peach tree that's perfect for bleeding hearts and lily-of-the-valley.

I've got different dicentra all over the garden. Which one are we talking about? Fern leaf or traditional? I've had no issues with the traditional - I just pick em up and shove them into various spots around the garden....The fern leaf for me at least have been more tricky

This post started eight years ago. I'm growing Dicentra scandens Athens Yellow which I purchased from a Nursery in North Carolina-called "Plant Delights". It's the third year I've grown them. My first set of four plants returned for a second year, after producing hundreds of yellow-heart-shaped flowers on six foot vines the first year. The second year crop was accidentally killed off by my neighbor who sprayed Round Up in an attempt to rid his yard of Poison Ivy (also a vine) . Killed my poor dicentras, too.So this is my third year, moved to a different spot. Mostly shady-but they are climbing a trellis I placed next to them. It's mid June and they seem okay, but no flowers yet. We've had an uinusually cool and rainy spring after a hard cold winter. I'm on the North Shore of Long Island New York, solid Zone 6. I got interested in Athens Yellow after having success growing Dicentra Spectabilis (pink and red flowers).
