But as I took them out at home, what a nice surprise to find it coming from the dicentra! Unfortunately, I suspect I was a bit careless in its planting and lost it over the winter.

It is now in the ground and surviving, perhaps ready to thrive. I'm making the effort because I've had another plant for two years and it is indeed a knockout.

I planted the Burning Heart last spring . I got it as bare roots from mail order. It was taking off in no time. It even started to bloom....Read More The flowers are absolute beautiful.

My bleeding hearts do beautifully in the spring. By the end of June the leaves are all brown. Is this to be expected?
I picked up one of these today and the pictures here don't do it justice. The flowers are a very deep luxuriant red wine color.
