Bleeding hearts

Zeusiblue

I have 2 beautiful bleeding heart plants. Does anyone know if i can grow more of the same from these plants. If so how do i go about it ? Not sure how to take cuttings? Thanks in advance

you could try .......... one of the branches closet to ground lay it flat on earth and cover with soil
but i have found that bleeding hearts tend to throw up their own shoots and make good ground cover.
good luck:)

If its Dicentra - then yes no problem. As its an herbaceous perennial you can lift it and divide it, but best to do this in autumn .

i have successfully transplanted by division both red and white bleeding hearts

Yup, just split it in the autumn before it dies off completely and it should be fine. We've got 2 large ones, one white, one pink, and they're both ready for splitting this back end. They are gorgeous plants!
