Dicentra Spectabilis died back in Autumn - will it return this spring/summer? Also, do you think it would have survived the snow/frost in recent weeks?

Planted a Dicentra Spectablis last month. It is growing profusely. Can I prune it back? If so, how and when.

Have garden bed in semi-shade, backed up by Pyracantha Firethorn (30-40 years old). Put down weed suppressant & slate mulch 2 years ago and now almost all of my new shade-tolerant plants are dead (except Phormium). Is the mulch preventing proper drainage and not allowing the plants to grow? The soil is heavy/clay and never gets dry. I have spent a fortune on mulch/plants and am now completely frustrated!

My Dicksonia Antartica has suffered from recent cold weather. All leaves are brown and there are no signs of any new growth yet. Does this mean the plant is dead?
