Dicentra eximia `Snowflakes`

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Dicentra eximia which bears prolific white flowers beginning in March and continuing to flower into October, although the blooming period will depend somewhat on the age of the plant and its environment. The plant is compact and ideal for use in borders or containers.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of Dicentra eximia, substantially as shown and described, characterized by prolific flowering, having clusters of white blossoms on racemes rising from the plant base, low or no seed production, excellent vigor and hardiness and a flowering season longer than normal for the species with little or no necessity for pinching to maintain blooming.
