While Dicentra is a genus native to North America and Asia, ‘Ivory Hearts’ is a *cultivar* of Dicentra eximia. Dicentra eximia is native to **eastern North America**, specifically the Appalachian region of the United States.

Therefore, the likely ancestral geographical location or native region of the *species* from which ‘Ivory Hearts’ was derived is **the Appalachian region of eastern North America**. Keep in mind that cultivars are bred and selected, so while their origins are in the native range of the parent species, they are often grown far outside that range successfully.
