Growing at a glance…
Slugs may cause some damage to dicentra plants if you dont take some precautions (such as slug pellets). Plant in any fertile and well drained garden soil and position them in full sun or partial shade. To plant loose roots, soak them in a bucket of water for 1-3 hours before planting, then dig a hole in the border that’s big enough to house the root system. Firm in gently and water well.
