Certified ExpertA.We don't recommend certain brands or products but a quick search of the Internet for reputable seed companies didn't find any either. They are easy to divide or take cuttings. Seeds need a cold period, plus they can take up to a year to germinate I've read! I would advise against buying them from individuals advertising on selling sites. A lot of people report scams.

July 9, 2020Q.Is it ok to plant a new bleeding heart plant into ground in summer time
I understand you shouldn't transplant them this time of year but from my understanding that is due to the roots being fragile. So I'm still a little confused on weather or not it's alright to just plant a new bleeding heart plant in july

Certified ExpertA.If the bleeding heart is in a container it can be planted anytime, however, they are usually dormant right now. During the heat of the summer, the foliage withers and yellows and they retreat to the soil till spring.

July 25, 2020Q.When can I transplant bleeding heart perennials. I live on Long Island, NY.
I have a plant that has grown in the middle of my garden path. The leaves on my plants have started to turn. Should I wait until September to transplant it?

Certified ExpertA.Bleeding heart should not be cut or moved before it has turned yellow or brown and started to wither away. It is storing food for next year. You can transplant then if it is not too hot (above 90 degrees F [32 C]). September will be cooler but be sure to mark the location in case it completely disappears.

August 18, 2020Q.my bleeding hearts never bloom and turn brown all summer long
Hi, I live in south central Wisconsin, and I planted a few bleeding heart plants a couple of summers ago, and they have never bloomed. I thought by the second year they would. I have them in mostly shade. We have had tons of rain, and hot weather in between. yet despite the rain, they simply turn brown. They look dead, but always come back in the spring. I would love some help with this! thank you!

Certified ExpertA.It is normal for the plants to grow, bloom, then the foliage dies back to the ground and goes dormant till the next spring. If yours is skipping the bloom period, it may be too young or it may need a fertilizer program as outlined below:

sprout. If I do get some to start should I just try to keep them in the house for the winter or should I put small plants outside. I live in northern Minnesota. I wrote it all in the question.

Certified ExpertA.We don't sell any products so you didn't buy the seeds from us. However, you can grow the seedlings inside and plant them outside this fall, at least six weeks before winter.
