Dicentra scandens
This intriguing climbing bleeding heart has masses of pendulous, yellow, heart-shaped flowers and mid-green, divided leaves. It prefers a shady to a partially shaded position where it can grow into some sun. Will cascade handsomely from pots and containers and makes an unusual feature plant when supported on a trellis or fencing. You can also grow it into shrubs. Blooms mid summer often until frost. Popular with hummingbirds.
