Comments: This is an excellent perennial for moist, shaded locations where there is ample humus in the soil to encourage the spread of Bloodroot. Flowers are about two inches across with yellow centers. Red blood-like juice can be extracted from the roots of the plant, thus the name bloodroot. Early settlers used the sap for body paint.
