(Bloodroot) One of the loveliest of all the shade lovers. Pure white flowers are borne amidst emerging lobed leaves during the spring. A large clump is a sight to behold, livening up a dark spot. Prefers a moist woodland spot. 15cm (6'') It gets its common name from the red sap that 'bleeds' from cut roots!
