Dicentra canadensis     Native     Z 4 - 9     shade

[Squirrel corn]  Foliage is finely-divided and reaches only six to eight inches in height and spread.  Blooms are like white heart-shaped lockets on a line as each bloom hangs individually from short stalks on the main succulent-looking brittle stem.  Name comes from the small yellow tubers in clusters.

Transplant:   Squirrel corn should be planted very shallow in soil high in leaf mold and rich humus in shade.  Forms early-blooming colonies where it is happy.  Certainly looks good with Primula veris in my garden.

From 1 quart containers.
