I mixed up my tags when I planted these last year. One is Dicentra "king of hearts" and the other is dicentra "eximia."
Any guesses?

I would say King of Hearts is on the right. I have noticed that new foliage is a little different in color and the one on the right has that going on...

Thanks DryGulch, that's what I was thinking too but wasn't sure. I guess I needed a second opinion.

I think the 'King of Hearts' is the one on the left. It is more mounding than the other. But, I really am no expert on this.

Hmm, my guess would be the one on the left for King of Hearts, since it has noticably blue-green foliage and tends to grow in a nice mound... Are these both really small?

Yep, they're both on the small side. Well, two to one so I'm going to go with King of Hearts on the left too. Thanks for the imput everyone.

Make it three to one. King of Hearts on the left. It has bluer foliage.

My guess is left for King of Hearts too, it looks like the one I had.
