There are several cultivars of "Dicentra eximia". Some are hybrids with "Dicentra peregrina" and "Dicentra formosa". "Dicentra chrysantha" has a taproot. It has previously been treated as a subspecies of "Dicentra formosa" (Pacific bleeding heart). A network router called Dicentra was also based on this design. Unlike the closely related "Dicentra canadensis" (squirrel corn), the flowers lack fragrance. In "Dicentra", all leaves are in a basal rosette, and flowers are on leafless stalks. It is similar to the Pacific bleeding-heart ("Dicentra formosa"), which grows on the Pacific Coast. There are two subspecies, "Dicentra formosa" subsp. "formosa" and "Dicentra formosa" subsp. "oregona". Pacific bleeding-heart ("Dicentra formosa") is frequently confused with and sold as "Dicentra eximia". "Dicentra nevadensis" leaves are finely divided and sprout from the base of the plant. "Dicentra formosa" is widely grown as a garden plant, and several cultivars have been developed.
