full sun, MichiganQ.Bleeding heart plant
The photo shows a part of my bleeding heart plant, at least it's attached to the plant and is growing out of the plant but it looks like a weed to me. What is it? Is it part of the bleeding heart plant? It's getting taller than my tree and seems to be suffocating the bleeding hearts.

June 27, 2015A.I'm sorry we did not receive your photo.
If the leaf structure if different then the main plant, you certainly could have a weed or even a tree self seeded growing out.
You could carefully cut away the invasive plant material.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/bleeding-heart/bleeding-heart-care.htm

July 24, 2015Q.care of Bleeding Heart
My Bleeding Heart plant has brown stalks/leaves and looks like it is dying out. There is new growth, but wondering if I can just cut down the brown stalks/leaves? I just purchased this place and never have had a Bleeding Heart plant. It sure can be lovely!! I would appreciate any help and suggestions that you can give me. Thank you so much for your time.

July 26, 2015A.If it's newly planted, then it could be transplant shock (which normally rights itself) or in need of more water. You can remove any brown/dying growth. Also make sure the plant is receiving adequate water with good drainage.

MichiganQ.Care for indoor potted bleeding heart
I didn't get around to planting my bleeding heart before frost. It's indoors now in a pot. How often do I feed and water it? Also, what should I feed it? Thanks:)

October 20, 2015A.Bleeding Heart will need to go dormant and have a cold period.
Allow the leaves to die off and stop watering the plant.
You can store the pot in a garage and plant in the spring.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/bleeding-heart/bleeding-heart-care.htm

April 2, 2016A.Do you know the variety that you have planted?
There are many dwarf and small cultivators of Bleeding Heart.
It is possible that part of your plant died off during Winter, making your plant smaller.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/bleeding-heart/bleeding-heart-care.htm
