When is the best time to divide bleeding heart plants?
This can be done in fall or early spring before plants get more than a few inches tall. I suppose you could transplant later but I suggest you cut back the foliage by half to lessen stress on the plant. The roots are brittle when large. If a piece breaks off, it may send up a brand new plant so space it accordingly.
location is florida, when cut back the plant for the summer, should i continue to water it

I've had my plants for three years now, always with good results. This spring I noticed one wasn't producing blooms like my other one next to it. I applied some Miracle Grow blooming food two weeks ago but still no signs of blooms coming on. I live in southwestern Wyo. We have cool springs, but the bleeding hearts haven't been frosted as I always cover them if it looks like it's going to frost. What could I try, or will it bloom later.
There can be a few reasons for lack of flowering, including excess nitrogen.

I just planted a new Bleeding Heart plant in my yard 2 days ago. It looked like it was a pretty healthy one when I purchased it. Today, my lawn service came through and ran over it with a mower. Is it salvageable or is it a lost cause now?
Continue to water it, keep it moist but not soggy. It may began to regrow. Put a wire cage around it to prevent further damage. Good Luck!
I planted 2 bleeding heart bushes 3 years ago..one geypts a bit more sun than the other..however they both were doing great as of last summer..This season only one has come back and is blooming.. I live in RI..and last winter was not that harsh..what happened?? Also..my 2 Catmint bushes..the same age as my bleeding hearts..are only about 6 inches out of the ground..usually by now they're about a foot and a half high and wide..what's wrong? Ty for any input Cheryl D
Warm winters can often be harder on perennials then colder weather. Temperature fluctuations in winter can often do damage to plants that do not go into a dormancy and stay there.
Lack of snow can also leave plants unprotected.
Plants emerge at different times and will generally take off growth when soil temperatures warm sufficiently .

My bleeding heart was pink and white, white has it turned all white?
The most common explanation for this is that the originals have died off. These have probably cast seeds, which can be completely different from the parents. Over time, you might start to notice more color as they keep breeding.
