The Bleeding Heart Plant is Lamprocapnos spectabilis, formerly Dicentra spectabilis. The heart shaped flowers are pink, red or white depending on variety and these plants grow well in a shaded position in a humus rich well drained soil.
Originally from Japan, Korea, Siberia and China, this is a monotypic species.
Dicentra are commonly called the Pacific Bleeding Heart and are found in East Asia and North America.
These are a perennial plant so they come back every year, they spread slowly by underground rhizomes as well as by seed.
The common name comes from the heart shaped flowers that appear in spring to summer depending on climate zone. White, Pink and Red flowering types are available all with the distinctive heart shaped flowers.
Flowering in spring the flowers are very attractive and the ferny foliage that follows lasts well into summer.

My Grammy had these all around her home and they were huge bushes that wrapped her whole house and I lost my gram and i find these triggering to happy memories these beautiful flowers are such a big sentimental reminder of my grandmother She could grow anything and did grow everything! I just recently purchased seeds bc none of the nurseries around here have any plants. So I’m nervous about starting seeds, not sure if I’ve got my grams green thumb!

Difficult in your climate, HOWEVER, morning sun afternoon shade, good air flow, try to keep cool in summer. Maybe grow in pots so you can shift them around for best conditions. Let us know how you go with them.

@mjj1434 Год назад

I have a couple of those Bleeding heart plants . Can I scatter the seeds in the fall, or do I have to keep them cold for a length of time??

@MsTinytin 3 года назад

They are beautiful flowers. Seen them when i visited Vancouver. Wish I could grow them in India!

@johnnyAGardening 3 года назад

Thats Gardening for you, so many plants that are just beautiful, some easy some hard to grow. In India you would need to be very far north, and up in the hills. We can only dream....

You can grow. Where do you live Bhavita exactly in India? What’s the weather there and u need to find a place with maximum shade.. but in open

@Joey-vw1id Год назад

Great video,I have mine growing outside and they are about two and a half feet tall and they stopped flowering, Should I trim them back to promote more flowering? I already give them lots of fertilizer. I'm not sure what to do...

@johnnyAGardening Год назад

They usually do not repeat flower, so we just leave them, let the foliage die back and then clean up the dead foliage.

@moniquemacaulay8270 3 года назад

I have a huge one (may be several plants, I have never split it.) I want to put it into pots. Can I do this late in the fall? I live in zone 5a.

@johnnyAGardening 3 года назад

We prefer early spring, just when they are about to start growing. This way they are ready to send out new roots and growth . Dig the clump, use a sharp knife divide the clumps and replant immediately. If you must, you can divide them in late fall, although with a cold wet winter coming, the root disturbance at this time can set them back.

@jaday7282 3 года назад

Hi, any suggestions for when repotting a fully grown plant? It hasn't started blooming yet. Thank you!

@johnnyAGardening 3 года назад

Best repotted in spring before it starts to shoot. If you really have to repot it when in full growth you must keep the whole root ball in tact if you want it to survive and flower, this can be tricky....

@jaday7282 3 года назад

@@johnnyAGardening I just received it so i didnt get a chance to do it before hand. It came in a small planter. I will be very very careful to keep the roots in tact. Thank you so much!

Are there nanos in the plants

@mgriffin4297 2 года назад

If I plant this in my garden outside, with regular all-purpose soil as a base and top soil as dressing, will it still live and thrive? Does it need all of these specific mixtures/quantities of soils in order for it to live?

@johnnyAGardening 2 года назад

It should live and flower, however the extra fertiliser will help growth.

@tammyluken2034 2 года назад

Will my Bleeding Heart still grow even though it was taken out of the ground a couple days ago and has dried out. It was given to me by my Aunt. Thank you

@johnnyAGardening 2 года назад

This is one of our favourite plants. Hard to know how dry it actually is, but certainly worth a try, SO get it back into the ground and water well with a liquid seaweed fertiliser. OR maybe a container, good potting mix and part shade. Good luck with it, Stay Safe and Happy Gardening

@nadasabbagh8753 3 года назад

Hi, I've planted my bleeding heart with the top of the plant more exposed. Must it be covered in soil like this? It could be why it's not growing.

@johnnyAGardening 3 года назад

Yes, top of the tuber should be just covered.

@AFROJOE2323 2 года назад

It's summer now..can I still plant a bulb and get it started? And if I can't, should I keep it in bulb form until next spring?

@johnnyAGardening 2 года назад

So its died back for summer? You can either plant it out and keep it slightly moist, or keep it in a container. Either way do not let it dry out. BUT not wet and soggy.

Does anyone know if the roots of these are a strong pain killer? I heard the dicentra formosa was, someone made a tincture and said it was strong like morphine but non addicting

I saw on internet which said all parts of the plant are toxic.

@paulrichard1144 Год назад

I am trying to find out how big/how to prune the bush, and when to prune it. Any shape I should make it?😆

@johnnyAGardening Год назад

Generally we do not prune Bleeding Heart plants at all. They die back over winter so no real need to prune for us.

@irisbonifacio1692 Год назад

But if Bleeding Heart seeds are bought from somewhere, then do they have to be stored in the freezer for a while before planting, or can they be planted right away?

@johnnyAGardening Год назад

Yes, 6 weeks cold stratification isn recommended.

@TheGorgeousme1 3 года назад

hey Johnny! where can i get the bleeding heart here in Au? thanks

@johnnyAGardening 3 года назад

Best purchased in autumn. Tonkins Bulbs have all three colours used in the video.

@TheGorgeousme1 3 года назад

@@drd6893 thank you! have you planted them yet?

@nicolelatham979 2 года назад

I just planted the seeds in a pot and put them in the freezer to germinate. Is it too late? I read it needs to be in there for 6 weeks and then be out at a cold temperature of 65 degrees for 2 months.

@irisbonifacio1692 Год назад

But if I wanted to plant the seeds now that it's cold, could I plant them directly or should I still keep them in the fridge for six weeks first?

@johnnyAGardening Год назад

You could winter as a cold stratification, although I would keep them in the fridge and plant late winter.

@irisbonifacio1692 Год назад

How long does it usually take bleeding heart seeds to germinate?

@johnnyAGardening Год назад

Give them a cold stratification for 6 weeks. Then around 4 - 6 weeks to germinate.

@renduv1257 2 года назад

I received a dry root months ago. I planted and watered it inside. It still has not sprouted. I pulled the roots from the pot and planted in a good spot. What are the odds that the plant is dead? Do they go dormant when divided? Thanks.

@johnnyAGardening 2 года назад

Not sure which climate zone you are in SO When you removed the plant from the pot did the tuber/rhizome seem fleshy or dry and shrivelled ? If the plant (rhizome /tuber) was dry when you received the plant then thats not a good sign. If it seemed OK, Bleeding Heart Plants are dormant from mid summer to late winter/spring, depends a little on the climate. If its spring in your area then it should be sending up shoots soon. Hope this helps.

@macy1159 2 года назад

isn’t it poisonous tho

@johnnyAGardening 2 года назад

Yes, they can cause skin irritation and if eaten, they can cause other problems....

@Bubblegum-xm5cg Год назад

Indeed! Touching them causes skin irritation, and eating them can cause vomiting, diarrhea, breathing difficulty, convulsions, seizures, liver damage, and even death if ingested in large quantities.
