Graceful pink hearts dangle like
charms on a bracelet. The Old Fashioned Bleeding heart is right at home in a woodland
setting or any area of the garden that receives partial shade. The unique heart shaped
flowers begin appearing in early spring and put on a stunning display of color for 4 - 6
weeks. The deeply cut, fern like foliage grows to about 3 feet in height with an
equal spread. Leaves will gradually fade as days get hotter and the plant completely
disappears by late June or early July. Bleeding hearts will not tolerate dry soils and
will need to be watered during dry spells. For best results work in a generous amount of
peat moss, compost and manure before planting and top dress each spring with bone meal and
blood meal. Bleeding hearts like a slightly acidic soil so it may be necessary to adjust your soil pH.
