Sanguinaria canadensis 'Multiplex' | Double Bloodroot

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Sanguinaria canadensis ‘Multiplex’ produces fully double, pure white flowers in early spring, emerging before the foliage has fully expanded. The many layered petals form rounded blooms that open gradually and hold their shape longer than single forms. Flowers appear as winter recedes, followed by distinctive blue-green leaves that unfurl and expand, their softly scalloped edges and veining adding interest as the season progresses.

This long-cultivated selection is believed to have arisen as a naturally occurring double form in eastern North America. It is well suited to woodland gardens, shaded borders, and naturalized areas, where its early blooms provide seasonal emphasis and its foliage later fills space quietly.
