Lovely true ephemeral spring wildflower – plant grows and flowers before the forest canopy can shade its habitat, and in early to mid-summer it becomes dormant and dies back. Its white flowers with yellow tips are reminiscent of hanging breeches (pants). The compound leaves have an ornamental gray-green color. This small perennial provides nectar to the first emerged bumblebees, so it's very beneficial.
Best if planted under deciduous trees, in shade gardens, woodland gardens and places it may naturalize (let it self seed). The seeds are rather difficult to germinate, and the plants mature slowly. Combine with other woodland plants like Asarum, Aquilegia canadensis, Iris cristata, Heuchera, Polemonium reptans, Mertensia virginica, Polygonatum, Stylophorum diphyllum, Tiarella, sedges or ferns, or non-native smaller to medium Hosta, and Epimedium.
Blooming Time: April-May
Size: up to 12" high x 10" wide
USDA Zones: 3 to 8
Culture: half shade, shade, loam, rich soils, some decaying organic material is useful (leaves, leafy compost)
Moisture Needs: medium, medium-moist
Origin: Native wildflower to central, northeastern and parts of northwestern USA
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes/yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: very valuable plant for bumblebees
Attracts Hummingbirds: no
Pot Size: 3.5" x 4" perennial pot (1.22 pt/580 ml)
