Bleedinghearts are one of the most well known and popular perennials.  Forming a bushy, upright mound of fern like foliage. with dangling delicate heart shaped flowes flowers  on arching stems, in late spring. Ideally suited to a rich, moist soil with partial shade. plant them under deciduous shrubs and trees to give them protection from direct summer sun but allowing plenty of light as they burst through the ground from winter hibernation. Cut back after flowering to keep strong vigorous plants before they die back to ground level in mid summer.

    I rarely write reviews but I must recommend this excellent nursery. It is the best nursery I have used for online ordering. Rang them first with some questions and they were most helpful. Then did my order of heathers and they were sent and arrived promptly in great condition and are very healthy looking plants.
