Dutchman’s Breeches – A Wildflower Slapstick for Underfoot


Dutchman’s Breeches (Dicentra cucullaria) — a lovely perennial wildflower that forms pantaloon-shaped white flowers with yellowish tinges. They are whimsical flowers that hang on slim stems over pale fern-like leaves and add a kind of whimsy to shaded gardens and woodland settings. It is native to North America, so it grows well in the shade, moist, well-drained soils and is a great plant for naturalization, shade borders, and pollinator gardens.


Key Features of Dutchman’s Breeches:


Unique Bloom Form: It blooms differently from the white flowers of pantaloons and looks amazing when planted in early spring.
Fern-type Foliage: Thin, thin, glossy, green leaves are full of texture, even post-flowering.
Shade-Loved Perennial: Half- to full shade, woodland, and shade gardens.
Pollinator Magnet: Rewarding bees and other pollinators for a lush garden.
Native Plant: Easily grows well in native gardens and promotes native species.


Why Choose Dutchman’s Breeches?


This is a must-have for anyone looking for a colorful, low-maintenance feature for their shade garden. Its distinctive flowers and delicate foliage make it a favorite plant in naturalized gardens, and its early flowers open up the garden before other plants appear. The perennial makes a beautiful woodland garden, shade border, or mix-and-match planting with other native wildflowers and is pollinator-friendly.


Tips: Grow them in moist, draining, slightly acidic soil in part- to full shade. This annual flower dies in the summer, so enlist other shade-loving plants for year-round interest.
