Comments (5)The third time was the charm. I finally got some to winter over. Not only that but I think there are 2 dozen babies. What do the seedlings look like? Like a tiny lily pad? Should I just let them mature in place and move them this fall or next spring when they've got bigger root systems? (I'd only move a few because they are right on top of each other.) I don't want to pot them up now, because I'm not good at keeping on top of watering little pots, and they're going to go dormant soon enough. I just need to put a tag there to remind myself there's not really an empty space to stuff something else. Sorry, I hijacked this thread. Please excuse.

Comments (1)This plant is not supposed to be vunerable to critter damage, but I do know that the rhizomes will rot if there is too much water. I have always planted mine on slopes, and the best patch I ever saw here in the Piedmont of NC was on a very steep and rocky slope, going down to a large creek. We also had so much rain here that I am afraid some of my plants near the pond will not come back. They were under water for almost a week, and I don't know if they can stand that. And quite a few iris just drifted away. Where? Time will tell. Were your bloodroot in a flat place where standing water could be a problem?...See MorePics - Sanguinaria canadensis L. - Bloodroot
Comments (5)Very nice Tom. I was just looking at some of these yesterday near one of our storm water detention ponds. This particular site is in an area that was developed but in which all wooded sections were not destroyed. So such remnant patches do exist there. Ironically, to me at least, the big push around these ponds is for "native vegetation". Somehow, this has come to mean prairie, even though this area was not a prairie originally. Somehow, the remaining patches of forest are not considered native. This is very troubling to me, and I am gradually working to adjust the outlook of the storm water engineers with whom I work. The difficulty springs from the fact that I've gotten onboard this particular initiative 15 years too late. +oM...See MoreAndrew
