Bleeding Hearts are very pretty. I used to grow them in my zone 5 home. I grew them outside my front door along with periwnkle and daylilies. I later added some crocus and a border of hen and chicks. I could never get the bleeding hearts to grow in full sun. But they were very happy to grow close to the house and greet me as I went out the front door.
I don't have many shady places where I live now.
