I was so excited when I saw a Bleeding Heart that would thrive in full sun. I love this plant in the wild and often see it when hiking. I bought it and put it in a pot on my west facing front porch. It did not thrive but wilted and leaves turned crisp even though I kept it moist. Moved to shade and now it is thriving. Unfortunately, it is where no one can see it.
