I have had one in a large pot for lack of a better place to put it (my soil is absolute trash), and it has unexpectedly done very, very well for more than 5 years now. I especially love to watch the bumblebees gathering the nectar. They sort of hang off the end of the flower and just go to town! One of my favorite plants, ever.
I was raised calling it "lady in the bath," too! My grandmother had one in Montana and now I have one in Virginia. I think of her every time I look at it. Thanks for your video!
Bleeding hearts were my husband's grandmother's favorite flower so I planted a couple last year in her memory. So glad I did.. they are absolutely lovely! I had no idea about the lady in the bath. Im thoroughly tickled by rhe surprise! 😆🥰 Thank you for sharing. ❤
Hahaha! What a wonderful cheeky grandma!! I will be that grandma someday! Thank you so much for sharing this secret with me! Love from Costa Mesa, Southern California, USA 🇺🇸 #CastleofCostaMesa
Yes, it is a really lovely plant and remarkably long lived too - I've seen old home sites where the house is derelict (place is deserted, roof fallen in etc.), the garden is overgrown with brambles & weeds and guess what is cheerily coming up among them? So glad you will be able to enjoy it for many years.
i bought some bleeding heart seeds on line ive soaked them and placed on tissue in a dish inside a plastic bag and nothing no shoots no roots nothing so i planted some straight into compost 4 months later still nothing , how do i get the seeds to germinate
I am a little surprised to hear something is browsing on your plant. Bleeding Hearts are normally left alone by most animals. If the problem persists, you might try sprinkling over the foliage that tastes foul or place alight net over the plant at night or when you are not around. You can also get animal repellents at your favorite garden center. The nice thing about these Bleeding Hearts is that they are very resilient and you should see fresh new growth sprouting up from the base.

Wonderful story about your Grandmother's "Lady in the bath". I hope my two sons inherit a love of gardening from me as well.
Danielle Gaudet haha! That story is a good route to that path!! I too will tell my sons this story... after I plant the dicentra!
God bless our grandparents. It was my auld pappys favourite plant. Bless his memory.
Bleeding heart is one of my favorite plants.
Great, and so easy and reliable too.
Love listening to your knowledge of plants and enjoyed this story.
I plan on planting some of these
Thankyou ♥️
Great plants, superb easy to grow varieties and a neat story!

Thank you.
Ohh I love this. Granny’s garden has inspired so many of us.
wow really like gold heart it's so bright and colorful
Yes, and amazingly it tends to be later at going into summer dormancy too, so the display last longer.
My Irish grandfather always called it "Lady in the Bath." I thought that was just his name for it (used to entertain us kids). Now I know. Thank you
Cute little story!
We (in Romania) call them "Lady's earrings" :)

Thank you, glad you liked it. Now (when those little ones arrive), you'll have at least one more story to pass on!
was the first flower that I ever learned as well.
Wonderful, hopefully you've had as much pleasure growing it as I've had over the years.
Lady in the Bath. Nice to know.
Thank You
Just moved into this old house and the Alba bleeding heart is the nicest thing in the garden. Is it supposed to divide and grow, or grow bigger?

Hi, i bought 1 bulb yesterday, how much flowers will it grow please? Is it as wide as the one in front of you as you are sat down? Thank you.
We call it bleeding heart in Britain also
Something has chewed up all the leaves and flowers of my bleeding heart plant that was thriving in a pot... what could it be ? :( Help!!!
