I wanted to know that can this amazing flower grown in the pot ? Is it grown from seeds? I need one for my garden . Regards Jasmine jassy29@rediffmail.com Weezingreens Seward, AK (Zone 3b) August 04, 2006 01:03 PM Post #2586535 Hi, jasmine. I suppose it could be grown in a pot, but it is difficult to start from seeds. It needs a cold period to germinate. Bleeding heart likes cool weather, so it may not do well in hot summers. It could be grown in a big pot, and it would probably bloom in your cooler season and die back in the heat. Hopefully it would come back for you. It would be better to get root stock or a small plant from someone, but I don't know whether your postal system allows plants to be received. I don't have any plants this summer, but may have some next spring when I divide my large plant.
