If you are looking for a bit of color for a somewhat shady spot in the garden bleeding heart is a plant worth considering. A perennial flowering plant, it blooms in heart-shaped flowers in shades of pink and white.
Preparation
-
Bleeding heart seeds require a period of cold temperatures to break their dormancy. This is easy to accomplish by pushing the seeds into a handful of moist sand or peat moss and refrigerating them for three months.
Timing
-
If you have prepared your seeds by giving them a chilling period in the refrigerator, plant them in the garden as soon as all danger of frost has passed. If you prefer to skip the cold stratification, you can plant your bleeding heart seed in the fall and allow it to receive a natural chilling in the winter. It will germinate in the spring.
Considerations
-
Bleeding heart seed is viable for four years if stored dry. Suitable storage containers include glass jars with tight-fitting lids and envelopes.
