Transplanting bloodroot

14 years ago

Does anyone know if bloodroot transplants well? I'd like to get some of my bloodroot established in another area but I don't want to kill it in the process.

Thanks in advance.

They can be transplanted almost anytime. When I transplant them I usually break them apart into pieces that have at least one eye. Do not plant them too deep. They seed prolifically. I must have several thousand.

It always has transplanted well for me.

Same here. It does well in dry shade, and usually the critters do not bother it. It also reseeds for me, usually out in the paths since I have so many leaves in the immediate area around the original plants.

I have transplanted them while they were in bloom and they didn't miss a beat. Just water them well after transplanting.
