The Gardener's Notepad
An old fashioned favorite! Planted for it's delicate beauty, which springs up with passion and blooms it's pants off, only to fizzle out and disappear by July. It seems everybody's mother or grandmother had one, and most if not all gardeners have at least one story that comes to mind when they see a Dicentra in full bloom!
