Last year I dug the grass weeds on either side of the steps at my father’s house and established a flower bed that he could appreciate while he was sitting on the porch. One of my biggest concerns was that an old bleeding heart that my mother had planted when I was a kid had been ‘built over’ and imprisoned behind lattice when the porch was renovated. I felt awful seeing it trying to survive without enough light and very little water, so I removed the lower lattice and dug it up early in the spring. I didn’t know if it would survive, but it did ok last summer. And this year . . it is full sized and full of flowers! Surrounded by daffodils, iris, and bluebells, ready for another 40 years of life. -- source link
