I know that you have had some advice already, but thought I'd add my 2
cents worth.
You can plant perennials well into September. Bleeding Heart plants have
finished their blooming, but can be transplanted now or in the fall. If
you do transplant during the summer, you have to remember to water
regularly and deeply (I find that every other day for an hour is good).
My suggestion would be to hold off, though, until August when the
weather is usually a little cooler. My sister-in-law owns a garden
center and stocks perennials well into the fall. She may have a bleeding
heart available. Check her web site at http://www.greenthumbgarden.ca/
and email her for information.
If you have questions about gardening, a garden center like my
sister-in-law's is good because the staff know plants! Walmart, Loblaws
and similar stores do not have staff trained in gardening and
landscaping. Real garden centers may be a little more expensive, but you
gain with the knowledge and expertise that the staff have.
One thing you should probably do is check out the gardening courses with
the local school boards. The courses should be advertised through the
Citizen in August/September. The booklets may also be available from the
public library.

You are one very confused individual. Either that or you reply
differently to those who challenge you... and you don't like being
challenged.
