Description: Stunning yellow and red variation on a garden classic, Dicentra scandens produces a profusion of golden glowing blooms on the most tender, delicate vining tendrils. The flowers attract hummingbirds and are flecked at the pendulous base with a hint of strawberry red. Truly unique, hard to find variety. Germinating these seeds is not particularly difficult, it just requires a couple extra steps and a few more weeks of patience. It's important to provide warm soil for approximately one month, and then "trick" the seeds into going through a winter (easiest way to do this is place in the refrigerator) for 4-6 additional weeks.

If no germination after 4 weeks, chill again.Starting Outdoors: Direct sow in autumn; An irregular germinator that emerges over several months after winter, so provide protection.When to Set Outside: If planting indoors, plant outside after last frost.
