I can help with this, some red bleeding heart cuttings I have for the plant sale are too small to sell so I could send one of those, they only need bringing on a bit, pm your address  :)

Just found some info:
divide in October or take 3" root cuttings after flowering is over or young shoots soon after spring growth.

I have both red and white so I'll give it a go and let you know the outcome!
It's all a learning curve  ::)


The goal in life's journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body,

but rather skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting.
