Habitat of the herb: the herb: Woods and deep shady valleys.
Propagation of Bleeding Heart: Seed - best sown as soon as it is ripe in a cold frame. Stored seed should be sown in early spring. Germination usually takes place within 1 - 6 months at 15℃. Two weeks warm stratification at 18℃ followed by six weeks at 2℃ can shorten up the germination time. Prick out the plants into individual pots as soon as they are large enough to handle, grow them on for their first winter in a cold frame and plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring. Division in early spring. Care must be taken since the plant strongly resents root disturbance. Division is best carried out in late winter. Larger clumps can be replanted direct into their permanent positions, though it is best to pot up smaller clumps and grow them on in a cold frame until they are rooting well. Plant them out in the spring. Root cuttings 7 - 10cm long in sandy soil in a cold frame.
Cultivation of the herb: Woods and deep shady valleys.
Medicinal use of Bleeding Heart: None known
