    Light shouldn't be an issue, if it was nutrients I would have thought that the other 2 would also be affected as they are right next to each other. I think I will cut it back the weekend and move it. I can then check for root rot.

      We've had 3 reports of an identical problem from all over the Midlands, so I can't see that it's going to be a problem with RR's plant care or site.

      I have removed the Dicentra in question today. All looked ok after I dug it up, but not sure what I am looking for, so I thought that the safest thing yo do would be to get rid just in case.

      It's an alien invasion of Hubba spudda nick nicks!

      Burn it with fire and vodka and dance around the ashes.









      Or it could be something else entirely like root rot or sum fink!.......
