Bloodroot - Sanguinaria Canadensis

Bloodroot is a perennial favorite for its white flowers and easy-growing habit. This native woodland gem likes partial shade, making it ideal for gardeners looking for an easy-to-care-for plant. Its short root-like rhizomes make planting easy without requiring much digging or work. Once rooted, this perennial blooms year after year with elegant flowers in early spring.

Effortless Planting and Care

Planting this small plant is easy; it loves moist, well-drained soil. The soil should not require much watering; add extra moisture when there is not much rain. By weeding minimally and adding a thin layer of organic mulch, it will stay beautiful throughout the season. You may only require a mixed fertilizer for spring that will give lush leaves.

Bloom Time and Colorful Transition of Bloodroot

The primary blooming season is from early to mid-spring and lasts for about two weeks. Here, the petals take on a relatively straightforward appearance and often are clustered around shiny yellow centers. As the flowers wither, the leaves round into lobed forms, turning an even faint bluish-green. They retain visual interest long after the flowers fade, creating a lovely hue pattern.

The Graceful Life Cycle 

Offered by TN Nursery, this plant exhibits an elegant habit. The plant emerges from hibernation when the weather warms up, shooting off its blooms before leaves appear. Once flowering is complete, foliage reigns and stays thick and full into late spring and summer. Fall leaves begin to dwindle as the weather gets cooler, and the rhizomes go on a much-needed winter hiatus. Appropriately placed and maintained at a low level, this perennial will thrive in your yard for seasons and add an enchanting element of natural beauty wherever you plant it.

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Planting bare-root perennials is best in any season if they are dormant; we only sell dormant plants. Planting them year-round is also excellent if you can get dormant perennials. When your bare-root perennials arrive, soak the roots in water for a few hours to rehydrate them. Lant by digging a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably and deep enough to place the top portion crown (where the roots meet the stem) at or slightly above ground level. Position the plant in the hole, backfill with native soil, and gently firm the soil around the roots—water well after planting to settle the soil around the plant and eliminate air. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch to keep weeds at bay and moisture locked in, keeping the mulch away from the crown. Irrigate plants regularly during the first few weeks of drought; never water in full sun, and water late in the evenings to ensure the roots are established well. Fertilize sparingly in the first year, using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in subsequent years as needed.
