Claire, my single bloodroot does not seem to be a shortlived flower. The
colony keeps getting bigger and bigger. I've never dug it or divided it or
parted company with any of it. It probably behaves a little differently in
Nebraska than it does in New York? Mine doesn't go dormant in midsummer
either. I've never felt the need to stake it either.
Very interesting.
