Bloodwort

Bloodwort comprises vibrant, often brilliantly colored flowers, typically in red or pink shades, which stand out in their native, often sandy environments. The plants feature narrow, strap-like leaves and rhizome-based roots which are adapted to store nutrients and moisture, helping them thrive in nutrient-poor soils. These adaptations make bloodwort both striking and resilient in their harsh habitats.
