Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Both owl and kidney are genuflected I believe.

Thank you for the link, Rosie. But if dicentras are attractive to slugs I won't bother.

I don't think genuflect is a transitive verb.

Well if they’re both acceptably pious then that’s ok, McG :)
I need to go to bed. First I have to heat up my pathetically small lavender wheat sachet thing, I must buy a proper hot water bottle.

Dicentras are herbaceous perennials - they grow like weeds in our garden - Raffo says they're not bothered by slugs (and we get LOTS of slugs).

I call them bleeding hearts but think they're also known as Dutchman's trousers! They're surpisingly hardy for something so very pretty

Oh - I hadn't seen Alpen Rose's entry re Dicentra. Well now you know twice Columba.

There seem to be several different kinds; perhaps slugs like some kinds better than others.

Just realized we have a Rosehip as well as an Alpenrose so calling AR Rosie may lead to confusion so will revert to AR.

:) I try to plant things that don't get bothered by slugs and don't normally have a problem with the dicentras.

I have replaced the batteries in the TV remote.

The old ones were flat, so it wasn't working.
