Dutchman's Breeches is a hardy perennial known for its arching stems strung with perfect heart-shaped lockets. Dutchman's Breeches flowers in spring in shades of pink, and performs best in part shade with moderate watering once established. This perennial matures to roughly 1.5-3 feet tall and 1.5-3 feet wide. It is ideal for planting in drifts through a border, or as a reliable cut flower, offering dependable colour that returns every year. Hardy to zones 3-8 and simple to care for, it settles in quickly and performs year after year. A layer of mulch helps hold moisture and keeps roots cool in summer.
