They are listing March for availability for them this year.

I like that wine dicentra. I went on and got the "old fashioned" (Dicentra spectabilis), which is what I had grown for years before, but when I moved to where I am now, I didn't replant (and needed to assess the sun/shade patterns since they are more a shade plant).

They were always a nice reminder of spring coming and were blooming just before my lilacs (I have an early-blooming Vulgaris type and a later blooming Korean).
