This cant be right, it's too small to be flowering yet surely? #question should I remove the flower stem and let it concentrate on growing instead? This is my first one so I really dont know.

Wow, interesting. Did you start these from seed,bare root? An already established plant? I ordered a bare root bleeding heart last fall. Expecting it in the mail in a couple more weeks.

@lesliecole49 no I bought this one potted, my bare root one from Wilkos is growing really well too but nowhere near flowering stage yet.

I'd leave it and enjoy it 😊 They were probably kept in a greenhouse or a warm storage place and that's why they're early.

Wow, I think if it was mine I'd take them off. The plant doesn't look strong enough yet πŸ€”πŸ‘
