Why do you say that Dicentra “King of Hearts” is not suitable for containers? having only containers in a fairly shady courtyard I was getting excited till I read this. Would appreciate advice on other flowering plants which tolerate light shade.
Hi Megan
The reason I said it wasn’t suitable is because people associate containers with long lasting colour and dicentra king of hearts are mainly a spring/early summer plant they die down quickly as soon as the weather warms up and become dormant.
You can almost plant any of the plants we sell in containers (after all we grow them in a pot )
So if you want to you can no problem.
It’s only a guide not written in stone.
All heuchera, heucherella and tiarella love light shade.
If you put part shade into the search button it should bring up everything that is marked for part shade
Hope this helps
Kind regards
