Bloodroot

Bloodroot (Sanguinaria) - S. canadensis is a pretty and distinct hardy plant, its thick creeping root-stocks sending up glaucous leaves about 6 inches high; the flowers, borne singly on stems as high as the leaves, are 1 inch across, white, with a tassel of yellow stamens in spring, in good-sized tufts, having a pretty effect. Sometimes the flowers are pinkish. It is strongest and best in moist peaty bottoms in woods or shrubberies. It may be increased by division in autumn, but its fleshy stems must not be kept long out of the ground. Poppy family. Nova Scotia, Canada, and westwards and southwards on the mountains.
