Sanguinaria canadensis


Bloodroot

USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.468.600


One of our treasured North American woodland wildflowers, the appearance of Bloodroot in the garden is a sure sign of spring. Plants burst out of the ground overnight it seems, with a succession of showy white multi-petalled blooms, leaves appearing as the flowers finish. Foliage is rounded, with deep notches. forming a low clump. Plants often disappear completely by mid summer, particularly in hot regions or if the soil dries out. Choose a site under deciduous trees that is moist during the early spring. Clumps may be divided carefully in midsummer or when dormant later in the autumn. A real gem!
