    Customer photo review of Bleeding Heart Roots

    Received large, healthy roots that started growing before I even got them. I planted them right away and got blooms in a few weeks. Looking forward to seeing how they do next spring. Would buy again.

    I planted these in a much too sunny spot last year, and they shriveled. I moved them this year, and they came back! They look beautiful! They're thriving in the shade now.

    Would definitely recommend. Very nice healthy, robust bare root plants.

    Ordered these and was ready to plant only to find out the entire plant, especially the roots, is toxic. This should have been included in the description for this plant so that buyers would be aware. I would not have bought these if I had known this in advance.
