Tuck your bleeding heart plants into the ground with the roots pointing downwards and the "eyes" or growing points about an inch below soil level. Space plants about 3 - 3.5 feet apart to allow for their mature size. If you can't determine which way is up, plant them on their sides and they will right themselves when the begin to grow (plant roots always know which way is down and the tops always know which way is up). Expect to see your new plants within about 3 weeks (depending upon weather). enjoy!
