Dicentra 'King of Hearts'

Hello everyone. Has anyone had any luck with Bleeding Hearts? If so, did you plant it in all shade or did it receive morning/afternoon sun?

Lettuce pray.

Not one of the bleeding hearts I planted last year came back this spring. I planted both pink and white ones in well-drained, semi-shady spots in several areas of our gardens.

Let me know if you discover the secret of growing these here.

DixieRose, what a shame they did not return. They are such beautiful plants. I put in some pinks. Mine will be getting a little of the late afternoon sun.
I'll let you know how they fare.

I didn't have a King Of Hearts, (I understood that to be a different variety from the old fashion pink & white Bleeding Hearts) but the old fashion Bleeding Hearts I had did great and came back where I had it planted years ago. It was under a dense Camelia, with MaidenHair ferns, Begonias, & Babies Tears. I don't think that Bleeding Heart got any sun, except maybe from a slight angle for a very short period of time at sunset. It was a pretty moist location too.
