Dicentra formosa

Fertilization Dicentra formosa : We should enrich the soil of newly planted bulbous plants with organic fertilizer; it’s not necessary to fertilize summer flowering bulbous plants during this period of the year.

continental : We can grow the the Dicentra formosa in a place where it can receive a few hours a day of direct sunlight, but where it is protected from the sun during most of the day.
The Dicentra formosa is a rustic plant, which doesn’t tolerate the winter cold, even when the nocturnal temperatures are very low.

alpine : Locate this plant in a partially shaded place, where it can receive a few hous of direct solar light.
The Dicentra formosa can stand the cold, therefore it can be grown outdoors year round.

mediterranean : We suggest a pretty sheltered location, so that the plant can receive direct solar rays only during the coolest hours of the day.
Grow the The Dicentra formosa in the garden, in full ground; it can stand the cold.

continental : Let’s water every 0-1 weeks with 2-3 glasses of water, or even more often if the weather is hot and dry; we should always try to keep the ground slightly damp.

alpine : Water regularly, every 1-2 weeks, wetting the soil thoroughly by using 1-2 glasses of water and keeping it always a bit moist, although avoiding to soak it too much.

mediterranean : For a balanced development these plants need constant and abundant dampness; during this time of year it is good to water frequently, about 3-4 glasses of water at least every 0-0 weeks.
