    Think of it this way @Lyn what ground you don't plant in will have self seeded ones. Win win I say.😉😁

    Most G/Cs don't stock more than two species of Dicentra because they're bloody c**p & normally staffed by clueless non-entities !
    Our local G/C is typical ; as I've said before on here , you may as well consult the staff in your local supermarket ! (Most likely they're better informed on plants) :)


    Picked up three yellow flowering species at a plant fair near Caistor (N.Lincs) in May ;
    Dicentra scandens , chrysantha and macrantha ; will see how they fare next year when established .

    Have put three white ones in my garden to see how they fare on my heavy clay soil @Paul B3

    Are black Dicentra  a real thing?

    @Lyn, I'll take some off your hands if they're surplus. I quite fancied having them on the bank by the Hosta Tunnel, but only if you can't use them.

    With pleasure, want a tray of Hellebores as well?
