Do you want to grow bleeding heart seeds in South Dakota, but don’t know when to start them?

Starting bleeding heart seeds is not as easy as it seems.

Here’s why:

• Bleeding Heart Seeds must be consistently watered, receive at least 8 hours of sunlight a day, & be kept at room temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

So if you don’t consistently water them they won’t germinate. If they aren’t in a room that is at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit they won’t sprout. And if it receives 8 hours of sunlight the plant itself won’t grow.

• Because South Dakota’s growing season is not long enough, bleeding heart seeds cannot be sowed outside and should only be started indoors.

Because of this, I’m going to teach you the ideal time to start bleeding heart seeds indoors in South Dakota:

When to Start Bleeding Heart Seeds Indoors

Depending on the type of bleeding heart, it takes roughly 28-42 days (4 to 6 weeks) to grow bleeding heart from seed indoors before you can transplant them into your garden. And it could take 60 days for your bleeding heart to bloom!

The approximate date of when you should start your bleeding heart seeds indoors can be found by:

• Finding the last average frost date HERE
• And then subtract 28 days from it

You can also find the average last frost date for most major cities in the below chart that I have created:

To help ensure the greatest success of your bleeding heart seeds germinating you should:

• Use a heat mat to ensure the gardening pot remains at 70 degrees Fahrenheit
• Use a grow light to control how much light your bleeding heart seeds receive
• Water your seeds with a spray bottle to ensure your seeds are not overwatered

It should also be noted that you will not want to introduce your bleeding heart plants into your garden until 2 weeks after your last frost or else your plant will potentially die or not bloom
