Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Very interesting vine in the fumariaceae family. A biennial, but don't worry, it will self-seed in abundance and be with you always. Imagine a herbaceous vine that can climb over 30 feet in a year. The foliage is very Corydalis-like and the pendulous pink blooms are very Dicentra-like, what a great combination.
Slender biennial climber that thrives in moist spring soil, this vine reaches 15' scampering over shrubs and has pale pink heart-shaped flowers in summer.
