Dicentra formosa "Bacchanal"
Three dicentra formosa Bacchanal plants from Sarah Raven were delivered today and they are alive but smaller than I'd expected. The middle one has only a couple of very small leaves.
I had expected to put them out in the garden in a shady area by a Western-facing house wall, as they were marketed as "for autumn planting"- but they seem on the small side? Or am I being too mother hen? What would you do with them?

Rather amazed to see flowers on them in October...pics below were taken in April.
I would plant them out now while the soil is still warm.
Give them plenty of space...one small plant will soon form a huge patch.
I was also surprised it was in bloom...
