I currently have Lamium and Bleeding Heart plants planted together in the shade of some large lilac trees with both doing well. They are separated by brick edging. I would like to remove the edging and let the Lamium grow into the Bleeding Hearts, but wonder if they will overcome them.
Does anyone have experience with these plant being allowed to grow together freely?

I have a lot of different varieties of Lamium, they can be aggressive, however never had a problem with other plants being able to grow through them.
As Yogi Berra said, “It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”

Lamium may spread, but it's not invasive. It's very easy to control or eradicate. Give your Bleeding Heart a bit of room, and let the lamium play. Then edit as you will.
