Sanguinaria canadensis 'Multiplex' a little alien looking!

I just read about blood root this morning on the GardenDesign.com website. Was wondering if I should consider it for my shade garden. How long have you had it?

A plant that I have wanted to get but just never seem to get around to it.

The flower is really attractive. There's zero info in the database. Is this a succulent? Its the stem under the flower that makes me think so, and the way they're connected. I don't do succulents which is why I'm really ignorant about them. But this one, hummmmmmm...

i have tried it twice and they don't like the soil in my part of the world
maybe i don't get cold enuff or enuff sun

I have one that is lovely when in bloom but such a short bloom time.
It does seem to spread around a bit , nothing fast. Slugs don't eat it.
This morning

Hi Connie, it likes acidic soil, partial to full shade, reproduces by seed and root division.
Not a succulent.

Very pretty!

Further along, had 4 when I planted them last year, looking like 7 now.

Wow, that's pretty!

Blood Root likes shade, and at least mildly acidic soil. Seeds are pulpy and soft and do not store. Transplant your seed direct to shallow pans and over-winter outdoors.

If you are starting them remote from their growing site, use root divisions early in the spring.

Looks orchid-y to me. Big flower little leaves,

I have to grow my bloodroot in containers, the voles eat the tubers at my house.
At another garden, the property owner has a bad habit of walking around with a round-up sprayer.... lost several patches of bloodroot... my working theory is that in spraying the chickweed, dormant bloodroot is being killed.
