| How does one propagate a bleeding heart? By seed? By division? I've never tried it and would like to. Thanks! I think that if ever a mortal heard the voice of God it would be in a garden at the cool of the day. ~F. Frankfort Moore, A Garden of Peace |

| Thanks, Cat. I think I'm going to try both methods, which I researched after this post, although I have to confess that I've never seen a bleeding heart seed!

Angie, I'm not sure about the newer varieties, but my "old fashioned bleeding hearts" self-seed like crazy; little pods form everywhere the flowers are. I started out with just a pink-flowered plant, now have lots of both pink- and white-flowered plants!  - John Powell / Cubits.org - A Universe of Communities / Share your recipes: Favorite Recipes A-Z cubit C/F temp conversion / NGA Member Map |

| Oh, Sandy! Would you be willing to share some seeds? I'll pay postage. Obviously I have a hybrid because I don't have any seedlings. Thank you so much. If you don't care to save/send seed, I'll try to find an old-fashioned variety. I think that if ever a mortal heard the voice of God it would be in a garden at the cool of the day. ~F.

| Angie -- I'd be happy to send you some seeds! It's going to be a while -- I'm in the far north here in the Michigan Upper Peninsula, and spring is taking even longer than normal to get here (I think there is still frost way down in the ground in some places, no joke). Just to be sure -- we are both talking about the same plant -- Dicentra -- right? I wouldn't even think to ask you that, except my sister-in-law in Florida has something else entirely that she calls "bleeding heart." I would post a picture of mine here, but for some reason the site is not cooperating for me to do that! At any rate, just tree mail me your mailing address and I'll get some seeds to you as soon as I have them -- no need to pay the postage, they're small seeds that will only take a stamp -- you can just "pay it forward" sometime when the opportunity presents itself - John Powell / Cubits.org - A Universe of Communities / Share your recipes: Favorite Recipes A-Z cubit C/F temp conversion / NGA Member Map |

| There are many Bleeding hearts within Dicentra that are on the market. Some produce seed, some don't. Perhaps one of you can pick the photo from the data base of the wanted(Hemophobic) or the have(Weedwacher). |

| Tried IE instead of Chrome and now I CAN add a photo! These are the old-fashioned bleeding hearts that I have:   - John Powell / Cubits.org - A Universe of Communities / Share your recipes: Favorite Recipes A-Z cubit C/F temp conversion / NGA Member Map |

| Sandy: That's exactly what mine look like, too. Yes; I'd love to have some seeds. How kind of you to offer! I think that if ever a mortal heard the voice of God it would be in a garden at the cool of the day. ~F. Frankfort Moore, A Garden of Peace |
