These are so pretty, does anyone have them? I was reading an article about them, and how the flowers look like "plump peonies".
I might have to find them.
Here's some info on them.
Sanguinaria canadensis 'Multiplex'
by Iza Goroff
Sanguinaria canadensis is the bloodroot of the eastern half of the United States and temperate Canada. It is a member of the Papaveraceae, the poppy family. It is also called red puccoon, a Native American term referring to the use of its startlingly red sap for dyeing.
The flowers of the species usually have from 8 petals and yellow stamens. Some forms have been found with a second row of petals; these are called 'Plena' or 'Flora Plena'. Sanguinaria canadensis 'Multiplex' has many more petals; all of the stamens and carpels are converted into petals. The regular species, while charming, has a habit of dropping its petals after being fertilized. Forma Multiplex is sterile and individual flowers can last to 10 days. Both Multiplex and the species grow to about 8" (20cm) high; each stem carries one large (~6" or 15 cm diameter) clasping leaf and one flower. The leaf is shaped like 3/4 of a circle with indentations with the stem attached at the center of the circle, an inner edge of the leaf.
Sanguinaria canadensis 'Multiplex' is easy to grow in a well drained site in light shade with a woods soil, reasonably high in organic matter. The rhizome should be planted horizontally, about 1 1/2" deep with an organic mulch. To ensure its continued health it should be divided every 3-5 years. Each piece of rhizome should have at least one eye.
