How to grow bloodroot

Sanguinaria canadensis

When to plant bloodroot

Bloodroot is one of the earliest spring ephemerals, flowering in early spring (NC State: March to April) before going dormant by summer. Plant rhizomes or divide in spring or fall in shaded, humus-rich soil.

Bloodroot is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
