Late last summer, I collected some bloodroot seeds from some clumps that were growing on the grounds of a local zoo. I planted them in some small plastic containers and left them outdoors all winter, where they were sometimes covered with snow, and were subjected to several cycles of freezing and thawing. I live in Western Massachusetts, and bloodroot is a native wildflower here. Now the seeds are just starting to germinate. The seedlings are very delicate and tiny. Has anyone else on this forum ever grown bloodroot from seed ?
I've done this several times in the past. Once, many years ago, I was successful in growing a little bloodroot seedling that I planted in a shady garden at my workplace. I left that workplace the following year, and don't know if the seedling survived or not.
Over the past few years, I've attempted several times to grow bloodroot from seed. I've collected the seed, planted them in little containers, and left them outside for the winter. The seeds germinated the following Spring. But the seedlings are tiny and delicate, and have never lived past a week or so. I'm hoping for this current group of seedlings to survive and grow.
