Bleeding heart species-specific increase by division
The bleeding heart is an eye-catcher, no question! The most beautiful is the up to 120 centimeters high perennial with the showy flowers and the no less beautiful, feathered leaves when it is planted in dense groups. For this purpose, it is quite easy to multiply the bleeding heart - you only have to divide the rapidly growing plant regularly.
Sharp the bleeding heart
There are two possible, equally suitable times for a division of the plant. The bleeding heart can be well divided in early spring, before budding, and in July / August immediately after flowering. The best way to do this is on a cloudy day, as heat and strong solar radiation weaken the native plant in the mountain forests of Northeast Asia.
Propagation by root cuttings
In winter, the bleeding heart can also be very well propagated by root cuttings.
Plant root cuttings directly
The root cuttings can also be planted directly in the garden. However, both the rooting and the growth of young plants in this case are much slower. Always be sure to protect young shoots from late frosts, for example by a warming cover.
Tips
The young plants should be watered regularly both when planting and shortly thereafter. Moisture helps them to root, but waterlogging should be avoided.
