We grow various Bleeding Heart plants around our property, and they seem to be quite versatile regarding location. Plants grow up lush foliage in early spring, quickly forming large clumps bearing many, many gorgeous heart-shaped flowers along long stems! Flowers last for a long time, as they continue to develop along the stems, easily visible and adding welcomed color to the spring and early-summer gardens. Harden off the plant in a protected spot for a few days before moving it to its permanent spot outdoors.Freshly harvested seeds, this season!

Take off the leaves from the bottom half of the stem cutting.Optionally, you can use a rooting hormone for improving rooting success.
