Herbaceous scrambler, slow in its youth, but rampant (to ten metres perhaps) when established so make sure it's not going to swamp anything delicate.
Very similar to D. scandens, both are now dactylicapnos, not dicentra. In D. macrocapnos, the flowers are more angular and the foliage has a slight suggestion of silver at its base.
Comments on this photo
My scandens is just showing a promise of yellow. 10 metres, oh no. Need to remove its host support, come to the end of its useful life.
