Sanguinaria canadensis ''Tennessee Form''

Bloodroot

Plant Type:

BULBS

Sanguinaria canadensis "Tennessee Form" (ex: Maryanne Gryboski) - Allegedly selected in Tennessee this very robust form of Bloodroot sports pristine white flowers, some single and others semi-double. "Tennessee Form" is fertile coming relatively true from seed. Sometimes wavy, sometimes more deeply cut and multi-lobed, the the bold leaves are very handsome in the summer garden; often the center-most lobe has an extended cock’s crest at the tip resulting in an added frill thereby extending leaf length as well as adding to its interest. The foliage contrasts nicely with ferns, Barrenworts and striking set before variegated Solomon Seal – indeed any woodland denizen with softer foliage will contrast beautifully with the bold leaves of Bloodroot. This is a solidly performing woodlander with slow to moderate spreading habit. Established pot grown division.


For a more in depth discussion of this wonderful woodlander please refer to Sanguinaria canadensis / Bloodroot under Plant Portraits in the HERALD section of our website.
