Plant Profile: Dactylicapnos scandens 'Athens Yellow'

Climbing Bleeding Heart is a robust vine native to China, showcasing an abundance of delicate, cascading golden yellow flowers from mid-summer until frost. Its leaves have a fine, fern-like quality. This plant thrives in rich, consistently moist, and well-drained soil, ideally with its roots in shade while allowing its growth to reach sunlight.

During winter, it will die back to the ground, and in cooler regions, it can be cultivated as an annual. It’s suitable for planting in woodland gardens, on trellises or fences, or in containers on patios. Despite its vigorous growth, it does not exhibit invasive or weedy tendencies.
