Can a Bleeding Heart plant be divided and transplanted in the early spring?
Yes it can, but you may not have any blooms until next year. I think it is best to wait until it's finished blooming and then divide and transplant.
Reply:Check the link I listed below for the answer. But here is an excerpt:





""Because Bleeding Hearts last for years, they will probably become overcrowded and need dividing in 3-4 years. Dig up in early spring but be sure to handle the roots very carefully because they are extremely brittle. Each piece of root division should have an eye or bud however, the root need not be more than 3 feet long. New planting locations should be well marked and cleaned removing dormant stems remaining if any. ""





Hope this helps!
Reply:Absolutely.
