Caring for a "Bleeding Heart"



+25
Answered
I planted a Bleeding heart Bush in the spring using just a root from a home and garden store. It turns yellow after rainfall then after a few days, the leaves will be bright green again. I followed all the instructions, but I am a rookie at this. Is this a normal growth cycle? It is currently about 8" tall. Should it be growing faster than the current rate it is now? Any advice on making it grow stronger, I live in Georgia and the summer weather is unpredictable. Not to mention the red clay we have to work with!

The yellow after a consistent rainfall.
