When to plant common bleeding heart

Common bleeding heart is a clumping, spring-blooming shade perennial set out as a plant. NC State says to divide it in fall or spring, so plant in fall or spring when the soil is workable; expect the foliage to yellow and go dormant by midsummer in warm areas.

Common Bleeding Heart is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
