transplanting and splitting bleeding hearts
end of last summer a new shoot came up, it is being over powered by my weeping caragana, i'm hoping to move it, so it can grow. also, i have 3 [4 with the new shoot] one blooms and grows bushy, the other 2 struggle...someone told me to dig the 2 up and split the roots in half and they'll take off...can any one confirm this??

I assume your talking about Dicentra? (There are a couple of plants known by the common name of Bleeding Heart, but I think Dicentra is the commonest). Yes, you can lift Dicentra and divide it, but you must do this in autumn or winter. It would not like the disturbance at this time of year one little bit!
