PIONEER SEED COMPANY — 
DIMONDALE MICHIGAN 
DICENTRA OREGONA 
Listed as Dicentra glauca for a number of 
years Dicentra oregona has now disappeared. 
from nursery catalogs. This certainly is not 
due to its unwillingness to thrive under cut- 
tivation but rather to the fact no efforts 
were made to propagate the species. Most 
of the stock offered in the trade was collected 
material. 
The plant is as rare as it is beautiful and 
few accessible stations where it grew wild but 
never abundantly, have been completely ran- 
sacked. 
Gabrielson in ‘‘Western American Alpines” 
calls it the ‘King of the Family’, a title well 
deserved. 
It is found in gravely clay as well as a- 
mongst boulders where its long thick stolons 
travel and feed on the silty duff packed be- 
tween the interstices. 
The foliage resembles that of a dwarf 
Dicentra formosa in outline but is gleam- 
ing silver instead of green, especially where 
plants are exposed to the sun. It seldom 
reaches 12 inches to the top of the flower 
sprays; the blossoms are pale cream tipped 
with pink, sometimes carmine and the plant 
remains in bloom from spring to mid- 
summer and often later.
