BLOODROOT

- / per
Bloodroot plants are prized by gardeners for their large showy white flowers, which are produced very early in the gardening season. Some cultivars have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Bloodroot grows from 8-20" tall. It has one large basal leaf, up to 12 cm (4.7 in) across, with five to nine lobes. The leaves and flowers sprout from a reddish rhizome with bright orange sap that grows at or slightly below the soil surface. The rhizomes grow longer each year, and branch to form colonies. Plants start to bloom before the foliage unfolds in early spring. After blooming the leaves expand to their full size and go summer dormant in mid to late summer.
The flowers bloom from March to May depending on the region and weather. They have 8-12 delicate white petals and yellow stamens.
Type: Hardy perennial
Location: Part or full shade
Hardiness zones: 3-9
Height: 8-20"
Seeds per packet: 5
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 6 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 80 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18C, 59-68F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period for most seeds, though some can take longer.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
