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 can be seen year round, but more during the warmer months
of the year. This vine also has beautiful foliage. It grows well 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. Cut back by mid August for flowers in the fall and cut back
in Jan to see a ton of flowers in the spring. 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 completely
different plant.
