I don't know anything about dicentra, but I'm growing a polemonium, Stairway to Heaven, and it's not dormant at all. We've had extreme heat this summer, though our humidity is lower than yours, and it's coming through fine. It's even beginning to recover its variation. Here's a photo next to my mildewed columbine. The polemonium needs more water than the columbine. This is its second year. It made it through the worst winter we've had in years with lots of ice and snow, and only some shredded cedar bark mulch for protection.
