Have limited space and want to use this plant on an east-facing deck.
Yes, you can. Here is an article that links you to other shade-loving plants for containers:

I had -5C last night. What will my bleeding heart flower do? It does not look very happy. Thank you.
The foliage might die back, but its roots should be fine. It may regrow its foliage this year though.
I have some cuts off a bleeding heart and now they are siiting on water. Do I plant them into the ground now and how do I cut them to be smaller? Can I put them in a small pot? I live in Newton. This is a cut off a bigger bush. Can they go right back in ground and could I put them in pots like for in the house?
You have root cuttings or divisions?
This would be the correct way to divide a Bleeding Heart plant.
You could directly plant them in a shady area of the garden.

It looks like someone came in with a pair of scissors and cut each stalk then trampled them down. The same thing happened to the daffodils I had planted near them. I've had them for many years and this has never happened before. Any idea what animal might have done this?
My best guess is that this is cutworms. More information on these pests can be found here:

Barring that, it could be deer but it depends - were any of the plants actually eaten outside of being bit off at the base?
I planted two dicentra bleeding hearts that I purchased in 1 gal size two years ago. Both are in mostly shady areas. Neither has ever bloomed,not even I flower. Both are very green and healthy looking and roughly 12 inches in size. Why no blooms?
Most likely your plant needs some nutrients. You can top dress the soil with some good organic compost.
Also a slow release fertilizer is important in the spring as the leaves start to emerge.

My bleeding heart vine was planted 1 year ago. It has grown well, but does not bloom. It gets one to two hours of late morning sun and is on an automatic drip system, watered twice a week. A neighbor has the same vine which blooms profusely. Hers is east facing on a porch. Mine is north facing against a trellis and fence with early late morning sun and afternoon shade from an umbrella. I fed my entire tropical patio with a bloom booster two weeks ago and all went happily crazy except for the bleeding heart. I'm so in love with the BH flowers. What else can I do??
Your Bleeding Heart vine is a heavy feeder and needs a frequent fertilizer applied every 2 months during it's growing season.
Here is a link with more information.
We planted the bleeding heart about a month ago but the leaves are turning yellow and we put plant food in the soil and we have not got any flowers and it looks like it's getting more yellow. What do we do?
New plants require daily water and when the summer temperatures rise you will need to water twice a day.
Yellowing leaves indicate water issues, to little or to much.
My newly planted Bleeding Heart from last spring did not bloom until this spring. Patience and care!
Here is a great article.
