Planting and Growing Information
Plant Red Fountain Bleeding Heart in moist, fertile, well-drained soil in partial shade locations. In cooler summer regions, it can tolerate more direct sunlight if adequate moisture is provided. This hardy perennial performs beautifully in USDA zones 4-9, making it adaptable to a wide range of climates. For best results, water regularly during dry periods and apply a layer of mulch to help retain soil moisture. Minimal pruning is required—simply remove faded flowers to encourage continuous blooming and cut back dead foliage in late fall or early spring.
