Sanguinaria canadensis (Bloodroot or Bloodwort)
- The shallow rhizomes of this delicate, transient spring ephemeral produce a deep red sap superficially resembling blood.
We have these planted in our new Native Plant Garden opening this weekend! Word is that the single petaled versions have mostly passed peak bloom, but that the double petaled ‘Multiplex’ cultivar is still blooming and beautiful.
