The name bleeding heart describes the unique flowers, which resemble tiny pink or white hearts with drops of blood at the bottom. Dicentra eximia has a fernlike bluish-green foliage, while Dicentra spectabilis has a palmately-compound leaf. Dicentra formosa, the Western Bleeding Heart, is very similar to Dicentra eximia.
