I have patches of Bloodroot that grow naturally -- some of them undisturbed
for 15 years or more. I have not noticed any deterioration over time --
quite the contrary. I have noticed that if something happens to them (such
as deer munching on them), they will not send up new leaves until the
following spring. Also, lack of moisture will make them go into early
dormancy.
