How to Get Bleeding Hearts to Keep Blooming
- 1). Pinch off bleeding heart blooms under the flowers when they finish blooming. This encourages repeat-blooming bleeding hearts to bloom longer.
- 2). Water bleeding hearts frequently, one or twice a week, from spring until fall with about 1 inch of water each time. A constant supply of moisture will keep many bleeding hearts blooming. Don't allow the soil to dry up or become saturated. Constant slight moisture is the goal.
- 3). Mulch bleeding hearts to help conserve moisture. Using 2 to 3 inches of mulch, such as bark mulch, will aid in keeping the soil slightly moist and therefore help get the bleeding hearts to keep blooming.
