Bleeding Heart Vine
Bleeding Heart has been one of our best selling vines
for many years. It produces tons of
flowers and can be trimmed to just about any desirable
size. Flowers are seen year round,
more during warmer months of the year. Beautiful foliage.
Grows in shade or sun. Grow it
in the shade for nicer foliage or grow it in the sun for
maximum flowers. A good trim is recommended, flowers sprout
on new growth. You should provide a structure for it to
climb
on or keep it trimmed as a shrub. This is a tropical vine.
Do not confuse it with Dicentras.
It is a totally different plant.
