Botanical Name: Sanguinaria Canadensis
Country Of Origin: USA
Description: In the early spring, the woodlands of Wisconsin come to life with the vibrant bloom of native wildflowers. One of the most easily identifiable among these wildflowers is bloodroot, an herbaceous perennial native to eastern North America, spanning from Florida to Canada. Sanguinaria canadensis, the botanical name for this plant, stands as the sole species within its genus within the poppy family (Papaveraceae). It goes by various common names, including bloodwort, Indian paint, puccoon, and red puccoon. This remarkable species thrives in undisturbed woodlands and can be found on floodplains, as well as slopes near streams or ponds, primarily within USDA hardiness zones 3 to 8. During the springtime, it graces the woodland floors of southern Wisconsin alongside other native treasures like trout lilies, painting the landscape with its stunning blossoms.
