Hi Anne..Last year I dug up a bleeding heart that had started to get too
much sun as summer progressed ..this was the middle of July here, and the
flowering was over in this spot though the leaves were still luxuriant.
The plant certainly didn't seem to suffer from this and I got about 10
new babies to give away and replant..additionally I had left roots in the
ground where I dug it up and it's back again this year, right on top of
the rose I planted in it's place.
Meanwhile, I planted 6 or so of this plants babies in various parts of my
garden, some with more summer shade, some with less..there does not seem
to be any way to kill it dead, so I don't mind planting some of these
babies in spots that will get more sun later..they are so enjoyable now.
Lotsa mulch; and compost helps me here in the Pacific Northwest
