Maybe I’ll dig a little after the bloom and (if I remember) a little in fall. The swath has grown appreciably since they started receiving more sun after removing a tree. I’ll attach a pic of the Sanguinaria canadensis f. multiplex 'Plena' when they bloom.KittyFrom: owner-perennials@hort.net [mailto:owner-perennials@hort.net] On Behalf Of Nancy Robinson George Schmid writes in Enc. of Shade Perennials to divide after bloom. I would want the plant to make as much food as possible but you decide when. Nancy To: p*@hort.net My regular bloodroot are blooming now and the doubles are coming up. Since we’re heading back into another cool spell I’d guess it could be a couple of weeks, maybe more, before they bloom. Kitty From: o*@hort.net [o*@hort.net] On Behalf Of Nancy Robinson Just before it goes dormant. Mark and watch. I moved several and all are blooming this year. Wishing for more than 10 petals though. Nancy To: p*@hort.net We had a great discussion about bloodroot last year and this year mine are doing wonderfully after a mild winter. When is the best time to divide? After bloom or wait until fall? Thanks! Kitty |
