Double Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis forma Multiplex)
Rarely available from retail outlets. We have offered this rare native perennial for quite a few years now and every year we sell out. We could actually sell far more than we can grow, and turn away buyers every year. For 2023, we are hoping to multiply and strengthen the plants in our gardens, and will not be offering any for sale. Note to our loyal Daylily customers - there may be one to be found if you enquire.
