My bleedingheart vine does not bloom and is in semishade. Any ideas. tnx
Bleeding heart vine
Move it to a higher light. Also, is it big enough to bloom ie how old is the plant?
This is the 2nd yr Iv had it and it was blooming when I bought it. It died back to the ground this winter and came back very quickly but no blooms and Iv fertilized it with slow release fertilizer.
Try a fertilizer with a high middle number, such as bloom buster.
I live in zone 6a and bought this plant for the first time Spring 2008. Mine did bloom the first year, but it is a late bloomer. Here the plant has to be overwintered inside, and when outside, it gets full eastern exposure, which means full sun until about 1:30 PM. I cut mine back when it goes inside (when the temp drops into the 50s in the fall), and bring it back outside in the spring (when the temps are consistently over 55). I have two planted together, and one just started blooming last week. And, yes, you need to liquid fertilize, besides adding some slow release fertilizer to the potting mix. Miracle Grow Bloom Buster is a good choice.
