RE: Bleeding Heart

Thanks to all who answered about Shasta Daisy, 'Becky' and to Judy for the
info on propagating old fashioned bleeding heart!  One women is going to
bring me a start of wisteria soon, too!  I can hardly wait.  I've been
wanting one for years, so now I'll need to ask Bill to build me a STRONG
trellis in the sun!  LOL!!!

When I started working at NCM, I could only find one or two people that
admitted to being "gardeners."  As soon as I brought in a couple plants for
trade, all kinds of people said they wanted to try gardening.  It's kind of
nice to be able to "share."  And who knows, there are a couple of computer
savvy folks that DO garden frequently that may want to try this chat forum.


Blessings,

Bonnie

Old fashioned bleeding heart:
When my neighbor was moving hers, she just divided it with a shovel. I moved
several starts to the west side of mom's house, where they are flourishing
under the fruit trees. I also gave away starts of mine every spring for
several years. Just used a fork & lifted some roots from the side of the
clump. Never seemed to bother it. However, this year it didn't come back, so
maybe that wasn't good for it. This one seems to start from any fragment of
the tuberus root, as long as there are some of the fine roots attached.
Fern leaf bleeding heart:
Haven't tried moving this one. Will have to move one within the next few
weeks. I plan to lift it with an intact soil ball if possible and replant it
at once.
