The ‘Alba’ is a white-flowered variation of the bleeding heart plant, first introduced to England in 1810 before being lost and reintroduced in 1846 by Scottish botanist Robert Fortune, who found it growing on the island of Chusan. It is native to eastern Asia and part of the poppy family. Cultivated by Chinese Mandarins in their fairy gardens, it is named for the drooping heart-shaped petals.
