10 Dutchman's Breeches Bare Root Dicentra cucullaria Spring Woodland Wildflower

Dutchman's Breeches (Dicentra cucullaria) is a charming spring woodland wildflower known for its distinctive white, pantaloon-shaped blooms that dangle in neat rows along arching stems. These bare root plants emerge in early spring, bringing a delicate, old-fashioned beauty to shade gardens and naturalized woodland settings.

Ideal for shaded borders, woodland plantings, and spring interest among ferns and hostas, Dutchman's Breeches grows from small tubers and goes dormant by early summer after setting seed. Plant the bare roots in humus-rich, well-drained soil and allow the foliage to die back naturally to store energy for next season's bloom.
