Reviews
I thought I killed this plant last summer after planting it. I believe I was over watering it as a new plant. I dug it up and planted just the roots in an area I never touch thinking I had killed it, but still wanting to give it a try. This spring this bleeding heart is blooming like crazy & is beautiful. I am in love with it. It is a very strong plant.
