How Do You Plant A Bleeding Heart Bulb?
Bleeding heat bulbs resemble colorful strings of lights when they bloom. They offer gardens an elegant touch, which has made them a staple flower for cottage gardens. These types of plants are fairly hardy, yet can die in extreme frosts. Choose a time in early fall to plant your bulb. Find a location that has well-drained soil and receives partial sunlight. Find out how you can plant bleeding heart bulbs as a gorgeous addition to your garden. Choose a planting site and watch the location after it rains. If puddles still exist on the site after 5 hours, pick a better draining location. You can also amend the soil for better draining by using peat moss. Work into the first 12 inches of soil using a fork or rototiller. Make sure your planting area gets shade if you are planting white bleeding hearts, and partial sunlight for pink bleeding hearts. Dig a hole twice the height of the bulb. Place your bleeding heart bulb root down into the soil. Allow your bulbs 2 to 3 feet of growing space.
