    Yes, a bleeding heart can be planted next to a lilac bush. However, something to keep in mind is that bleeding hearts tend to prefer shade (but will tolerate full sun if kept moist) while lilacs tend to prefer full sun.

    No, allow the plant to die down naturally. This is how the perennial plant gains energy for next spring flowering.

    Yes, as long as their are still roots remaining in the ground it should continue to grow and come back next spring.
    You will want to continue to water into the fall so all the plants, new and old have good healthy root systems.

    Wait until the stems and leaves wilt by themselves, then cut them back to near the base.

    This plant is hardy down to zone 3, so plants in the ground don't need winter protection in most places. In locations colder than zone 3, mulch to protect the roots:

    There is little that you can do if your plant has come out of dormancy.
    You can cover the plant if the temperatures dip but Bleeding Heart can endure cold temperatures, just not below freezing.
