I garden in zone 6b. We have some pretty challenging weather sometimes. I don't claim to be an expert, so you will see my successes and my failures.
Although most of my videos are about gardening, I will occasionally post videos about nature, or other things that interest me.
I really appreciate feedback, so please say hi so I'll know you've dropped by.
I recently started a page on Facebook. It will include photos and some additional information that doesn't show up on CZcams. / midwestgardener
Thank you, its my first year of having this plant and I was worried I've done something wrong as the leaves were yellowing and dying! I'm a beginner when it comes to gardening so the tips help a lot!! 😊
I'm glad that I could help. I think you will really enjoy seeing it come up early next year.
Great seeing the start and ending of a plant, very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
I have red and white bleeding heart. Love this flower.
Those two colors would look amazing grown closely together!
I cut mine down to the ground every year and every year it comes back with a great display!!
I probably should, but laziness always gets me.
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
You're very welcome! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Thank you
You're welcome!
Such a BEAUTIFUL plant and the gorgeous pink blooms are so beautiful :-) I really love how you have filmed the plant over the different seasons of the year :-) thanks a million for sharing Jim and sending you an abundance of love and heaps of happiness from right across the Emerald Isle for a WONDERFUL Friday ahead XXXXX
Thanks. They are pretty to look at.
Our bleeding heart season is between May and early July. I've heard people say it's very easy to grow them yet others say their bleeding hearts keep dying on them. Well, bleeding hearts don't like wet feet neither do they like dry soil. Not too much sun but they don't thrive in full shade. The secret is finding them a sweet spot. I had such a hard time growing them in the first three years. I kept moving them around because they were either dying or not thriving. Once I found them a sweet spot, they come up every year like clockwork. I hardly have to do anything with them other than giving them a little support when they get too tall.
Thanks for sharing your experience with them! I'm sure many people will find that information useful. I know I did :) That is true for many plants, you just have to find the right place for them and help them when needed. Ours seems to like the spot we have it in.
I'm in zone 7 and I'm guessing my bleeding heart season is May-early July too. I thought I somehow killed it last year when it died back in the middle of summer like that, so I'm glad to hear this is normal. Mine was placed in a "focal point" area of the yard, but I'd like to move it to a less noticeable area because it looks so bad when it dies back! Since you have moved your plant multiple times, when is the best time to move it? I'm guessing now since it has died back, rather than when it's in bloom????
His voice is so soothing.
Thanks Hanna!
My kind of plant, looks great for a few months, then disappears. No Maintenance perfect. :-)
Me too. Show off a little then go away.
Thank you very much! I learn something! I would love to grow some as beautiful as yours!
You're very welcome! They are worth the effort. They are just so beautiful when they bloom.
I just bought my first 2 because they looked interesting, thank you!
You're welcome! I think you will enjoy growing them, Rose. They are truly unique.
Thank you for sharing have a blessed day
Thanks.
Well done Jim. Have a great day. Best wishes Bob.
Thanks Bob. You too.
Lovely flower. Thanks for the video. Mostly my interest in gardening was food but next year I will be throwing in lots of flowers.
I've always enjoyed doing both. I think you will probably enjoy the flowers too, if you already like growing food.
Bleeding hearts have always done well in my garden. Easy to grow and pretty to look at.
Yes, they are pretty dependable.
These are so beautiful!
Yes they are. Too bad they only last for a short time.
Midwest Gardener
I know... They are all over grandma's yard but were almost all gone when I was there in September.
great share Jim thanks much for sharing :)
Thanks.
awww those are so pretty
Yep, they are pretty cool looking too.
Thanks for the tips! Garden in zone 9, I thought spider mites or something else killed my plants. Now I know the die back in Summer. I hope it comes back next Spring.
You're welcome! I hope it comes back too. They are such beautiful and unique flowers.
Perfect for what I was looking for. I planted some bare root awhile back and I just wanted to see the life cycle. Thanks.
You're welcome, Dan! Glad it was helpful!
That was quite pretty.
First time for me to see one.
Thanks. They are pretty amazing to look at if you haven't seen them before. They are very unique.
Midwest Gardener
I put these on my "to buy" list for the spring.
Thanks again :)
Across The Pond
You're welcome. Look forward to seeing yours in bloom.
Just bought 2 of them hope mine grow as great as your is
I hope they do too! When they are in bloom, they sure are something to see.
I've never seen those before... they are pretty.
They are pretty cool if you've never seen them before.
Same
Just popped a few seeds into the ground! I can't wait to see if they take off.
Nice! I hope they do well for you, Veronica!
Magnificent.
Thanks!
I planted 2 bulbs this year that never sprouted, the company gave me a refund. I plan on trying again next year. They are so dainty looking... :-)... T
At least you got a refund. It takes them about a year to get established. After that, ours has done pretty well.
Hi Good video! I have 2 bleeding heart plants and they're a really good plant to have in your yard!
Thanks! I agree....they are a great plant to have.
Nice :)))
Thanks.
But if you buy bleeding heart seeds, do you have to store them in the freezer a few weeks before planting them or can you plant them right away?
I've never grown them from seeds. If you plant outside during cold weather, you shouldn't have to stratify them. If you plant during warm weather, you probably should.
Do you think they grow in south Florida? The temperatures in here are very hot, thank you for the video, they are so beautiful!
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure how they would do there. My guess is that they wouldn't do that well. They don't like the heat very much. Here they die back in the summer and then pop up again early the next spring.
Yes they do
I have one on my fence line here in north Florida,,it's in the wide open always in the sun and as long as we get rain it does great,,,just don't neglect it
I just planted the seeds in a pot and put them in the freezer to germinate. Is it too late?
I read it needs to be in there for 6 weeks and then be out at a cold temperature of 65 degrees for 2 months.
I've never tried growing them from seed, so I don't have any experience at that.
But if I wanted to plant the seeds now that it's cold, could I plant them directly or should I still keep them in the fridge for six weeks first?
It depends on what zone you are in, and how much freezing weather you have left. I'm in zone 6b, and I could probably plant them here outdoors without putting them in the fridge first.
@@MidwestGardener I am in Italy, in Lazio
@@irisbonifacio1692 I would try the fridge first.
Hello. I have a small (4in pot) plant purchased from a nursery in February, and it died back in Late March. How do I care for it so it will come back next year? Do I keep it dry or water it?
Well, from what you described, I would be worried that it didn't make it. Ours normally goes dormant during early to mid summer and after that, I don't even think about it till it pops up the next spring. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but I've never tried to keep one in a pot. Ours was on a drip irrigation system and got watered occasionally all summer even after it went dormant.
@@MidwestGardener I see. I'll just leave it alone to see how it goes. Thank you!!
You're welcome!
How big do the roots get for the bleeding heart? I am planting them near my storm door.
They get decent sized roots, but as far as I know, they aren't aggressive.
@@MidwestGardener thank you. Any suggestion as to what other plants to grow with this?
@@francescalabonte4346 You're welcome! Astilbe would probably do well where Bleeding Hearts do well....or hosta.
I have a few bleeding heart tubers/rhizomes (died back seedlings) in the pots. How often should I water them?
I think I ended up rotting one of them due to overwatering :(
Trying to find the sweet spot for watering tubers in pots can be tough. Too much water can lead to rotted tubers. I don't have any experience with growing them in pots, so I would be just guessing. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
@@MidwestGardener Thanks!
Also, I am trying to grow them in a tropical country. The summers here are exceptionally hot (40 C +) and Monsoon is exceptionally humid. The plants will have 3-4 months window, to grow and bloom (provided they come back at all), of relatively mild weather.
That makes it even harder. They don't like the heat very well.
Are the flowers out long enough to attract hummingbirds?
Ours bloom a little too early for the hummingbirds.
do you fertilize it?
I don't fertilize my perennials, but it would probably do a little better if I did.
Hi! My plant is dying. Mine is white nd red. What to do please suggest
I'm not sure where you are located, but it's normal for them to die back. It normally dies back during the heat of summer.
i have dicentra seeds from china, someone can give me some advice to grow them? thanks
Sorry, but I've never tried growing them from seeds before. I'm pretty sure that the seeds would need to be cold stratified before they would germinate.
I want one but i'm scared i'm not sure if there poisonous
Yes, they are toxic, so if you are worried about a pet or small dog eating it, it might be best not to grow one.
I’m in NJ last year planted my bleeding heart I’m worried when it Will appear?I am in zone 6
They usually pop up pretty early, but I think it will be a while yet.
Thanks
@@sudeshnaghose8751 You're welcome!
Sir, Can I grow it in hot tropical climate?
I'm afraid not. This plant doesn't like the heat.
Sir, what if I grow it in Winter from mid of nov to mid April.. when temperature is about 7°C to maximum 30°C...?
That might work. I would just try to make sure they have some shade in the afternoon. Here they do well until the weather gets really hot, then they die back until the next spring.
I think it’s a nice plant but the growing period seems too short
Yes, they don't last nearly long enough. They are so unique that many folks really look forward to see them each year though.
I want aplant pleased
Sorry, I don't sell them....or give them away.
There real not fake
Yes, they are real. It's almost hard to believe that something like that can come from nature, but it's true.
