    Bleeding hearts often yellow in mid-summer heat. If kept watered so the soil stays moist and if in full shade, it may not go fully dormant. A 3 inch layer of mulch helps soil stay consistently moist. It should come back next spring in zones 3-9. When dormant it doesn't need much water but the roots should not go into winter all dried out. So water the area lightly in late fall. Ligularia must have moist soil and never dry out. It likes more water than the average garden plant so put it with other moisture lovers. Keeping it in full shade and protected from hot summer winds helps prevent moisture loss. I don't know whether the ligularia will return. It have dried out and died. Keep the soil moist; perhaps some new foliage will emerge. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/ligularia/ligularia-ragwort-flower.htm

    If this area gets full sun, then this is likely the cause. These will prefer shade and consistently moist soil. This article will help you to care for these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/bleeding-heart/bleeding-heart-care.htm

    This plant will be completely hardy in your area. It will die back completely and come back next year. If this is a young plant, then you may want to bring it in the first winter, and cut it back as you do so to about 2 or 3 inches above the soil if it has not died back by the time of the first frost already.

    There will be no real differences between the different colors, and they can be cared for in the same manner. This article will give you more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/bleeding-heart/bleeding-heart-care.htm
