I wanted to start it inside so I put it in a meduim sized pot with potting soil. I covered up most of it except for like the top inch. I water it regularly but it is not growing at all. What do I do? Put it outside?

bleeding heart are hard to grow from babies.... they need lots of light but not direct light! make sure they soil is draining and the water is not sitting in the bottom of the pot you have it in.... try putting it outside during the day if its nice outside where you live.. good luck

Native to woodlands, this shade loving perennial is an excellent addition to any garden...One of my favorites, and I collect the different specimens.
The name bleeding heart describes the unique flowers, which resemble tiny pink or white hearts with drops of blood at the bottom. D. eximia has a fernlike bluish-green foliage, while D. spectabilis has a palmately-compound leaf. Dicentra formosa, the Western Bleeding Heart, is very similar to D. eximia.
Partial shade with rich, organic, moist soil. Will tolerate full sun if given enough moisture, but will not do well if it dries out. Does not like wet soil in the winter or dry soil in the summer. Mulch plants for the first winter so they will become established.
