Where To Plant

Bleeding heart will grow best in partial to full shade. Ideally, bleeding heart should have morning sun and afternoon shade for best flowering.

How To Plant

Bleeding heart prefer a well draining, slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0 to 6.5), but will tolerate a pH up to 7.5. Apply compost or a general purpose, granular fertilizer in spring.  Plant bareroot bleeding heart with the crown 1-2" below the soil line.  If grown in poorly drained, wet soil, the crowns of the plants may rot. Avoid these soils and allow good air circulation.
