description for "Perennials: Dicentra formosa 'Aurora'"
'Aurora' is a very vigorous, shorter variety with grayish foliage and white blooms. Slightly more drought-tolerant than other Dicentra species and cultivars, but does best with a constant supply of moisture. 'Aurora' prefers to stay away from hot, humid summers and prefers the cooler summer months. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
