The interesting thing is that, although you approached it with some trepidation, your divisions have worked.

We had high winds and it took out every one of my tall, blooming delphinium. I was rather peeved the next morning, but I got a lot of indoor flower arrangements. Every sunflower with no bloom got toppled too.

Now they are thriving. <br /><br />It would be nice to see a Dicentra plant key that is not too technical.
