Is Bleeding Heart a shrub or a vine?
Comments (6)Thats a lovely vine. That thread refers to it as Clerodendrum thomsoniae -- which is a totally different plant than Dicentra. That's the trouble with common names... they represent common usage, often geographically based, but do not represent the botanical entity very well. Perhaps in your zone Dicentra (bleeding heart perennial) is not as prevalent as Clerodendrum vine so there is less confusion at the local level re-using the name Bleeding Heart. Actually Dicentra may not even be appropriate for zone 9....See Morebleeding heart vine seeds
Comments (3)Hi, I googled for the seeds and found a Montreal business that actually sells the plant - still haven't sourced seeds anywhere in Canada. You could try the vine forum and list that you are looking there too.

Comments (3)I have started some new Tree dahlia's from my own cutting sections, As I remember the new growth will come from the nodes as in your instructions, so the cutting should have 2 nodes. I think orientation matters if you stick it in vertically, not sure if you can tell on your pieces. I have the double purple, which has been blooming since November I think. I would be happy to trade some for a white one. Chad...See MoreBleeding Heart Vine
Comments (6)I'd be happy to share, are you patient? My vine is new so it could be a while, it's healthy but little - just planted 4 weeks ago and beginning to grip the base of nearby fence. I haven't had any luck with these from seed, although I have one seed pot I haven't given up hope on yet (maybe my own fresh seed will make the difference next year). When I got the well-grown, well-rooted plant, I emailed the grower to thank him and tell him the plant had arrived in good condition. Also mentioned I hadn't been able to germinate d. scandens seed. They replied they didn't have results from seed for this vine either, their plants are cutting grown. Here is a link that might be useful: Lazy S's Farm...See Moreperen.all Zone 5a Ontario Canada
