Wildflower garden, suitable for naturalizing.

Good plant for pollinators, esp. in the back of the garden

Flowers have yellow tepals but the inflorescence has abundant white hairs which provide an overall white aspect in the landscape. The species is named for its red roots and rhizomes. Feral hogs love this plant and will dig up extensive areas to get the roots.  The plant in turn recovers quickly and new plants come up from the fragmented rhisomes. Groundcover or mass planting in moist areas.

All bellworts that occur in Florida are rare. Please do not transplant from the wild unless there is imminent danger of site destruction (permits may be required). Retain if present in the landscape. Makes a nice spring wildflower in a wooded setting. Can be allowed to naturalize.
