Why doesn't my 2-yr. old pink Bleeding Heart plant bloom?

I have fertilized it and it is in a shady spot. The plant itself is growing each year. It has a white Bleeding Heart next to it that never fails to bloom.


Any suggestions?


Thanks.

Maybe it needs a little sun.
Reply:Do you give it enough water? Bleeding Heart plants grow well in moist soil. In the summer, you should put about 2-inch layer of compost around the plants to help retain soil moisture. :-)
Reply:Your fertilizer may have too much nitrogen, which promotes leaf growth, but not flowers.





You need a high phosphate fertilizer.
