i'd still mulch it some to keep the weeds
easier to pull.

at the extent you want the bleeding heart
to grow put an impermiable edge/collar down
into the soil around it.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep trying the digging up roots method
but I may use your method next spring when damage to the other ground
cover won't be as extensive.

Thanks again!
