Blood Root


Blood Root (Sanguinaria canadensis Flore-pleno)

I love this little woodlander. It's really tough, the flowers are pristine every year!

After the flowers, the foliage is gorgeous, big, flat and really lovely shapes, and it lasts for a long time.

Yes, it's quite hard to get hold of. if you like, I'll look for it for you at the place I got mine?

That's whiter than white! Very pretty ... not sure I like the name though ... :o(

If you break the root, it oozes dark red sap...hence the name.

What a generous suggestion Karen :) I'll be going with friends to Hopley's on Wednesday, who usually have a vast choice. I know they have my favourite Phlox 'Bright Eyes', but if they don't have the Sanguisorba, perhaps I can let you know?? Thanks.
