Dutchman’s Breeches
Dicentra cucullaria

Dainty white flowers resemble “strings of inverted pantaloons hung out to dry in the spring breeze (Cullina, NEWFS)”. Nectar source for emerging queen bumblebees. Foliage disappears by summer so interplant with other perennials. Does well in the shallow soil around deciduous tree roots. Companions: Bloodroot, Allegheny Pachysandra, Hepatica, Wild Ginger and Ferns.
Availability:
3.5” pot $5
