Dicentra ID please.
I bought this last year with just the label saying dicentra.
Can anyone identify the species and even variety? I'd be everso grateful.

I think SBG wants the Latin name Tengered - and I've mentioned before that that phrase sounds rude. If you're tuned to Cockney English, anyway.

My guess would be Dicentra eximia, variety unknown, but the exact difference between that and D. formosa is lost on me.

Isn't it a little beauty? Never seen that one before, but it looks like one in my book called Dicentra formosa "Aurora".

It looks very similar to the one I have growing
Dicentra 'Pearl Drops'

Yes its the Dicentra Aurora. I have the Spectabilis Alba (white bleeding heart) and the red ones in my garden. They are beautiful elegant plants. Enjoy
