Leave fallen leaves in place as a natural mulch. Water during dry spells in spring, while the plant is in leaf. No deadheading or cutting back is needed. The leaves fade on their own in summer. Once it's established, it handles dry summer soil while dormant. If you want to divide or move it, do it as the foliage begins to fade. Wear gloves when handling the roots: all parts are toxic if eaten, and the red sap can irritate skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bloodroot is native to eastern North America, from Florida north into Canada, where it grows in rich deciduous woods and on slopes near streams. Its name comes from the orange-red sap that bleeds from the root when cut, which Indigenous peoples used as a dye and in traditional medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinal Thoughts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ants carry the seeds around like tiny real estate agents.
