Bleeding Hearts are so dear to me as they remind me of my Bushia growing huge bushy Bleeding Hearts in containers in Chicago. Now I think of her every day with my Bleeding Hearts. Thank you for showing how to take care of them! You are very interesting. Now I want to get that knife!!
Bleeding Hearts was one of the first plants I bought when I started gardening. They're so easy to maintain. I also take the seeds and scatter them and get new plants that way. Great video. Thanks.
Hmm, I wonder if the flowers this spring dropped seeds, I did not notice seed pods. I just noticed the flowers shrivel up and fall after a coupe of weeks
My mother in law has a big bleeding heart in her backyard and she was just saying this summer how it hardly blooms anymo, I'll try dividing it for her in the spring, plus I'll get a bleeding heart for myself. Thanks Yuliya😀👍
A received a bleeding heart plant from my daughter in law many years back! I knew nothing about them! Thank you for all your information. I didn’t even know anything about dividing this plant. Now I can try this myself!😁
I bought a small bleeding heart about 4 yrs. By the second year it was so huge and too big for the spot. It was in full sun on a strip next to my driveway. It did beautifully. I dug it up in fall last year, brutalized the poor thing and put it in a shadier larger area. Last spring it came up beautifully but again got too big for the spot. So I just trimmed it up a bit. I put a pot with a string bean plant in front of it when it started to die back. Worked out perfect. My point is do not be afraid to divide or move plants, I've moved the same plant 3 or 5 times in the same season and they usually do great. I'm pretty rough with them too. They are tougher than we think. Yuliya thanks for the great video.
I was told perennials need division when they get congested and produce fewer flowers. I wouldn’t have divided this plant seeing how big and full of flowers it was in spring. Unless ofc one wants more plants, or relocate it, or it’s too big.
@@cherylgreenfarb8044 my father had tremendous success with outdoor gardening and not just his vegetable garden. Everything seemed to just take off. When he had problems with a particular plant, he just substituted something else. He also had a spouse and a bunch of kids so he wasn't a slave to the garden. I think our soil was, in no small part, a reason for his success.
It is structurally great soil but loses nitrogen so fast if I don’t replenish. Every time I do a soil test in some part of the garden it’s low in N. A lot of soils in NJ have been worked by farmers from centuries ago, before that it was very rocky. I did some investigation around here there were many farms. So interesting I may do a video 😊
Oh my goodness I am so happy I've found you on UA-cam! You are friendly, knowledgeable and I am learning so much. You are feeding my gardening passion. Even though I am in northern Kentucky we are in the same zone 6a. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos!
I have a fairly large Bleeding Heart plant in the shade area near Ferns and Hosta's . I have NEVER thought of dividing it ! Shame on me . I am in zone 6 ...so maybe I will wait until the Spring to divide it . Thank you Yulia for all the great advice !
I must say I did not realize how tricky this is to do. Thank you for bringing this to our attention! And, thank you for doing the same with the bearded irises. I know that these irises - unlike bleeding heart - are tough, but it really helped give me the confidence I needed. Now, we are enjoying drifts of remontant irises - back in bloom! Wow!
I love watching your videos. Thank you for this one. I was just telling my husband I needed to divide my bleeding heart and wasn't sure how to do it. I think its at least 6 years old. Thank you so much.
Юлечка, здравствуй, я поздравляю тебя с днём рождения: счастья тебе, здоровья, любви, удачи и всех-всех благ земных. В человеке всё должно быть прекрасно; и душа, и тело, и мысли, и одежда, и поступки, что у тебя в наличии имеется. Я люблю тебя и уважаю. т. Таня. 😁
If I want the plant to be large, should I not cut it back at the end of the year, or does it need to be cut back? Also, it seems to be growing wide instead of tall, does it need to be on a trellis/support? This is the 2nd year with the plant. Last year it did not grow at all, I was worried it would not make it, but this spring it has taken off, and bloomed a bunch. Can I encourage anither round of blooms?
Mine started blooming the end of April and it is now middle of May and they are dying off. Will they bloom anymore this year? It hasn't even gotten very warm here in Ohio.
Thanks Yuliya I'm gonna try one more time planting this plant. It does on me but your video gave me some confidence. I just hope my heart doesn't bleed if it dies again.
Thank you for another great video, you explain everything wonderfully! I love bleeding hearts & have MANY of the golden ones that you mentioned, they are my absolute favorite! They contrast brilliantly with my pink creeping phlox (also my fav) along with my purple tulips, daffodils, & blue muscari, in Spring & last practically all summer in my PA zone 6, I think in part due to my additions (like you) of my homemade "black gold" compost. I never thought to divide, mine are only several years old ,so thanks to this video I will definitely be dividing in the future. Also you are as beautiful as your garden! Love ALL your videos! 😊
But if Bleeding Heart seeds are bought from somewhere, then do they have to be stored in the freezer for a while before planting, or can they be planted right away?
Hi, just came here to learn how to and was surprised they are happy in shade. Mine are in the bright sun but an over eager crop of crocosmia populated their space and must provide the necessary shade. So, I am just saying that there is a companion idea for you. Thank you for the video.
Hi 🙂 I liked your video! Informative and easy to understand. I've not grown bleeding heart but is one on my list to add this spring. I like they have a tropical look but can withstand cold climates. Sounds like a win win to me! Thank you 💗
Thanks for showing this. I have a rather large shade area in the garden where nothing grows. I finally decided to get some hostas, but wanted a companion plant. So I looked around, and looked also at costs, and decided to get some dicentra spectibilis, and in front of them (next to the hostas) put a few Huchera of various colors. I chose to get only white bleeding hearts because another color would clash with the huchera leaves (sorry, I am a real color weirdo). I love the white ones though. Just seeing how easy it is to divide them takes all the stress out of a new plant! Thanks!
Oddly my Dicentra Spectabilis does not die down during the summer in zone 6. They stay mostly green. I'm not sure if I water it just enough to keep it happy or what
We had beautiful bleeding hearts at our old house in Denville, NJ. Now I live in the Poconos and found neighbors with bleeding hearts, and I got some cuttings! Going to definitely try to grow my own!
Good to see. My bleeding heart plants are not as big as yours, but Inwanted to move them, and was afraid to after heating the roots are tender. This takes away my fear.
Thanks for this, now I'm going to check for eyes. I just planted one in late spring, since I'm just a few hrs away from you mine disappeared too, now I know how to check that it'll be back next yr. Nice you have a cameraman more often now. We're just alike, I can't not apologize and pet the cat after a mishap....Cold this morning on Maryland's eastern shore =^/
I bought a bleeding heart ❤️ in spring and i planted it in an area that turned out to get a lot more sun than i thought ( i had just moved) but it never „disappeared „ in the summer and is still showing foliage , should I move it to a shadier location? I will keep this video in mind when it comes to dividing the plant , thank you 🙏
I've had my bleeding heart for about 8 years and it hardly has any blooms on it...is there a fertilizer I should use on it? I don't think it needs to be divided because its not a very big plant...
Thanks Yule...I did notice a difference when I added a bag of manure last year....so I think I will keep doing that! I also heard bone meal works well!
I have a small area where I’d like to add bleeding heart. Any suggestions on what other plant(s) to include so the bare area in summer won’t be so noticeable?
@@elisarayl1558 an annual hadn’t even occurred to me. 🤦🏻♀️ The old, narrow (for now) bed is currently shrubs and perennials and not given much thought. Thanks for the nudge!
Do you think that was an earthworm or one of those invasive jumping worms? It was moving like a snake! 😬 Thanks for the video, I just planted dicentra eximia this year, I’ll have to remember to divide in a few years!

How do you collect them?
I have seeds. When should I plant them outside? Or should I raise them inside until spring?
My mother in law has a big bleeding heart in her backyard and she was just saying this summer how it hardly blooms anymo, I'll try dividing it for her in the spring, plus I'll get a bleeding heart for myself. Thanks Yuliya😀👍
You are just to cute!! Laugh a lot, love a lot and enjoy life! Great video!

Anyone else notice how awesome her soil is? We're lucky in NJ. Mostly, the soil here is terrific.
And very acidic, you can grow plants that I can only dream of or struggle with in my clay soil 👍🏽
@@Manuela-pv4nr yep. I can't tell you how many naturally blue hydrangea Macrophylla plants I see. Also? Tomatoes and berries are a piece of cake here.
Mine soil is the same in Maryland and I have sand mix in due to being on the Eastern Shore.

Terrific tutorial! I need to divide mine at this point. Thank you 🙏
Have you tried the white variety? Same form and leaf texture, but white blooms. Love it in my part shade to shade garden.
On my list 😊
Thank you! I have my first Bleeding Heart and it is pretty large. I plan to share it....I have that tool! Love it! Thank you very much for your help!
This is a very valuable tip for me. I will definitely keep it in my backpack for when I need it. Thanks for posting this.

I have a white version that has migrated towards the one side. I had no idea they could be divided! I will definitely divide in the spring.
I just planted mine this spring here it is June 1st should it be done already? It’s turning yellow already
So far this is an awesome video. I just want to throw out that I believe that is an invasive worm, know as an Asian jumping worm.

Haha!
So what im hearing and seeing is you can have a bunch of breeding hearts everywhere and give lots away!

What is the giant leaf plant you’re standing behind? 🧐😮

How tall and wide is your bleeding heart? How many years for your bleeding heart to spread? Such a lovely plant! Thank you for sharing with us!
Mine is as wide as my 48" grill and 2 1/2 ft. tall.. I also separated 1 into 3. I'm dividing again next spring.

I’m zone 6b northern mew Jersey too! Hello neighbor 😀
What is the name of the knife you use and where am I buy one?
Thank you so much for this video! Regards from Norway 🤗
Can they grow in pots?
Great Info as usual! And love the outtakes!
Haha, you know what it takes to make a video 😂🤣
We had beautiful bleeding hearts at our old house in Denville, NJ. Now I live in the Poconos and found neighbors with bleeding hearts, and I got some cuttings! Going to definitely try to grow my own!
Do they grow from cuttings, or only division? If from cuttings, which part?
@@agood1 I'm trying the method in this article:
www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/bleeding-heart/bleeding-heart-cuttings.htm
@@Mommy2Amaya thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the demo. I need to do this. I've noticed that they have self seeded in my garden which I didn't know that they would do.
Thank you so so much. Great video I will septate mine this fall..
Would it grow in tropical areas?
Hi, can I plant bare root in zone 5b now with a cloche?
This was great Yulijah, so useful. Such gorgeous plants.
Yay, congratulations on 25k subscribers! 😆👍❤️
Thank you Joanna! 😀
Good to see. My bleeding heart plants are not as big as yours, but Inwanted to move them, and was afraid to after heating the roots are tender. This takes away my fear.
Can these be propagated?
My bleeding heart is in the sun and has been scorched. I will for sure be moving the plant into the shaded area in my yard. Thanks for this tip!
they grow wonderfulky with shade, warmth, and consisten moisture.
So pretty and huge!
Great video! Love my Bleeding Hearts!
If you lose some eyes, could they become cyclops bleeding hearts?
What size pot could I use for it?
I didn’t know they could be divided 😯 thx for the video!
Very helpful. I’ll be dividing and moving my bleeding heart as it’s gotten over-powered by the Peony next to it.
Really needed this vid! Very timely
Love your garden, especially how you use native plants. Do you leave the dead stalks/leaves in your bed or do you send them to the compost pile?
I leave most grasses and seedheads for the winter and remove early March.
Thanks for this, now I'm going to check for eyes. I just planted one in late spring, since I'm just a few hrs away from you mine disappeared too, now I know how to check that it'll be back next yr. Nice you have a cameraman more often now. We're just alike, I can't not apologize and pet the cat after a mishap....Cold this morning on Maryland's eastern shore =^/
I feel so awful if I step on them or anything 😫
I bought a bleeding heart ❤️ in spring and i planted it in an area that turned out to get a lot more sun than i thought ( i had just moved) but it never „disappeared „ in the summer and is still showing foliage , should I move it to a shadier location? I will keep this video in mind when it comes to dividing the plant , thank you 🙏
See how it does. In my climate we have pretty hot and sunny summers so they must be grown in shade. If you further north they may take little more sun
Thanks 🧤👒🐨🇦🇺🥰🌱 for the info Tula much appreciated 👍
Thank you!
LOL you divided the worm at the beginning too
It’s going to be beautiful next summer
I've had my bleeding heart for about 8 years and it hardly has any blooms on it...is there a fertilizer I should use on it? I don't think it needs to be divided because its not a very big plant...
I use plant tone. Mine benefit from yearly compost and manure application in spring
Thanks Yule...I did notice a difference when I added a bag of manure last year....so I think I will keep doing that! I also heard bone meal works well!
This was so helpful! Thank you so much
Did they all come back up? Can you share an update?
Yes! Bloomed beautifully this spring! I post a lot of undated on Instagram at ydoyougarden 😊
Thanks for this info, no bleeding hearts because I have too much sun now. Your out takes are so funny😁🎃🍁
mine is growing great i the shade! I am amazed!
Could you pretty please tell me what that beautiful tree is called. I came here for the hearts and now im stuck on this gorgeous tree 12 seconds in😂
Haha, it’s a kwanzan Cherry
Yeah, pretty sure that earth worm was a SNAKE!!
How long did it take for this plant to grow this large?
6-7 years
I love Bleeding hearts and have yet to grow them, but I WILL! I always LOVE your out takes as well! 🥰
I have a small area where I’d like to add bleeding heart. Any suggestions on what other plant(s) to include so the bare area in summer won’t be so noticeable?
I have a white bleeding heart and surrounded it with white Impatiens.
I have hostas around mine.
@@elisarayl1558 an annual hadn’t even occurred to me. 🤦🏻♀️ The old, narrow (for now) bed is currently shrubs and perennials and not given much thought. Thanks for the nudge!
Ferns, epimediums, hellebores are all amazing and deer resistant. If you don’t have deer hosta, Solomon seal and ligularia are lovely
what is the beautiful white flowering plant to your left under the tree?
White wood aster. Self seeds enthusiastically 😁
Very helpful, thank you!!
I love your video I live in Zone 3
What variety of cherry tree is that gorgeous tree in the footage from the spring?
It is kwanzan Cherry 😊
@@greatgardensforall thank you!! I think i want to plant one this fall, it is stunning!
My favorite is Boothmans Variety. The leaves are a little lighter, but they're more sun and heat tolerant.
Ooo! Gotta check it out
When is it too late to divide my bleeding heart? I live in zone 5; kansas city.
Def divide in early spring, when you see the eyes swell.
Thanks for the tips 😁
Thank you. I just ordered mine. What is the beautiful tree in the beginning of the video. It’s stunning! Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Do you think that was an earthworm or one of those invasive jumping worms? It was moving like a snake! 😬 Thanks for the video, I just planted dicentra eximia this year, I’ll have to remember to divide in a few years!
Yes, I have my suspicions we have many jumping worms now. They terrify me! 😫
@@greatgardensforall I think I jump more than they do. 😂
I'm in the uk... thanks for the video ... but what on earth is a jumping worm 😳😳😳
Thank you so much
Thank you
Where have you been. We missed you.
UA-cam no longer sends notifications unfortunately , I took august off but made many videos since then 😊
I see blue, black and purple colors for sale. I read that these colors do not exist? isn't that false advertising and sales?
Absolutely, be careful people alter photos all the time. Bleeding hearts come in pink, white, red. Foliage can be yellow or lime color
Ain't no way that was an earthworm!!! I am pretty sure that was a snake lol
👍
That was a jumping worm! you should kill those, highly invasive.
This is weird
I just did it! 🫢 Will see if I killed them or not! 😮🙏 Thank you for the encouragement!
