Bleeding Heart turned out to be very prolific. It produced fruits until a frost. We have noticed that the plants produce fruits of a more round shape if the weather conditions are not good (if there are changes in temperature and humidity). Later the same bushes produced heart-shaped fruits with pointed tips in the upper clusters. This means that this is a stable variety.
