It's the first flower to bloom every year and is one of the most distinctive plants in our spring woodlands. Each bloom rises from the soil wrapped tightly inside a single, oversized leaf, the leaf fully clasping the flower stalk like a protective sheath. As the flower opens, that leaf slowly unfurls and expands, becoming the plant’s most defining feature. The leaves are surprisingly large, rounded, and deeply lobed, with soft, scalloped edges and a slightly bluish-green cast. They add a very unique, almost pre-historic look to a woodland garden. Unlike other spring ephemerals, when planted in spots with decent moisture Bloodroot foliage often persists well into summer rather than disappearing quickly, continuing to photosynthesize and anchor the space long after flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1612\" data-start=\"1230\"\u003eBloodroot blooms are something we look so forward to in the cold, dark days of winter and are a beautiful signal that the season has turned. We've been growing it for 7 years and it never stops feeling special. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1902\" data-start=\"1614\"\u003eNative to Wisconsin woodlands, Bloodroot thrives in rich, deciduous soils where it can take advantage of early spring sun and dappled shade later in the season. Over time, it spreads gently by rhizomes, forming small, long-lived colonies that return reliably year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"565\" data-start=\"231\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1231\" data-start=\"1209\"\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1463\" data-start=\"1232\"\u003eLight: Part shade to full shade (spring sun, summer shade)\u003cbr data-end=\"1293\" data-start=\"1290\"\u003eSoil: Rich, humusy, well-drained woodland soil\u003cbr data-end=\"1361\" data-start=\"1358\"\u003eHeight: 6–10 inches\u003cbr data-end=\"1383\" data-start=\"1380\"\u003eSpread: Slowly spreading colonies\u003cbr data-end=\"1419\" data-start=\"1416\"\u003eZones: 3–8\u003cbr data-end=\"1432\" data-start=\"1429\"\u003eBloom time: March through April\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1488\" data-start=\"1470\"\u003eWildlife Value\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1726\" data-start=\"1489\"\u003eBloodroot is an important early-season nectar source for native bees that emerge in late winter and early spring.
