Info
Bloodroot Plant produces beautiful white flowers that are made up of long slender petals and has a bright yellow center to them. The leaves are a dark color of green, so the flowers stand out when in bloom.
The pale, lobed leaf embraces the stalk bearing the showy 8- to 10-petaled flower. Note the orange juice of the broken stem—bloodroot is often used to dye yarn and cloth.
