Friends of the Arboretum Native Plant Sale Dicentra cucullaria – Dutchman’s Breeches COMMON NAME: Dutchman’s Breeches SCIENTIFIC NAME: Dicentra cucullaria – This name comes a Greek word meaning two spurred and cucullaria refers to a hood. FLOWER: This is a very distinct shape. It is white, tinged with cream or yellow and resembles a pair of pantaloons upside down. There will be 2 to 6 pairs of these flowers on a stalk. BLOOMING PERIOD: April SIZE: 5 to 10 inches high BEHAVIOR: This spring ephemeral appears as soon as the ground thaws, blooms, sets it seed and dies back for the season in early June. SITE REQUIREMENTS: Dry to medium forests, cliffs. Flourishes on slopes with loose, rich, sandy loam. Not good for wet sites. Needs the shade of large trees such as sugar maple, basswood or red oak. NATURAL RANGE: Most of the eastern United States. Found in most of Wisconsin. SPECIAL FEATURES: This is a delicate plant with lacy leaves and the distinctly shaped flowers. The leaves are all basal and each is divided into three secondary leaflets. It takes several years for young seedlings to reach flowering size. SUGGESTED CARE: The corms (bulbs) should be planted close to the surface and well watered. Allow a cluster of showy patches to develop before thinning. Digging the corms should happen after the leaves have died back in June. In the spring it helps to remove a heavy leaf layer, especially oak leaves, so the emerging leaves get sunlight. COMPANION PLANTS: Wild leek, blue cohosh, spring beauty, toothwort, bloodroot. SPECIAL NOTE: A very similar plant, Squirrel Corn (Dicentra Canadensis) has similar leaves and flowers in a similar arrangement. The flowers, however, have a different shape, are white, tinged with lavender, fragrant, and bloom slightly later. Squirrel Corn is found in Wisconsin but rather infrequently. .

Flora Spring Flowering Native Plants of Washington D.C. and Vicinity
Spring Flowering Native Plants of Washington, D.C. and Vicinity Presentation by Rod Simmons Ford Nature Center March 26, 2011 Spring ephemerals are wildflowers of the deciduous forest that leaf out and bloom in early through mid- spring, are pollinated, and largely disappear before the forest canopy substantially leafs out. Extensive, intermixed colonies of these plants carpet the floor of rich, mesic forests and floodplain forests throughout the region. Turkey Run Park. Photo by R.H. Simmons Photo by R.H.

Simmons Late spring foliage of Rich Cove Forest at Lost Mountain, Washington County, Virginia Photo by G.P. Fleming Photo by R.H. Simmons Spring ephemerals have evolved along with other plants, animals, and microorganisms over millennia, each occupying its special niche, to form the Eastern Deciduous Forest that many of us live in the midst of. Today, many fine remnants of this once-vast forest still remain in our region, but there is also much fragmentation and disturbance, including new threats such as invasive exotic plants and insects.

Kentucky Unwanted Plants
Chapter 6 A Brief Guide to Kentucky’s Non-Native, Invasive Species, Common Weeds, and Other Unwanted Plants A publication of the Louisville Water Company Wellhead Protection Plan, Phase III Source Reduction Grant # X9-96479407-0 Chapter 6 A Brief Guide to Kentucky’s Non-native, Invasive Species, Common Weeds and Other Unwanted Plants What is an invasive exotic plant? A plant is considered exotic, (alien, foreign, non- indigenous, non-native), when it has been introduced by humans to a location outside its native or natural range. Most invasive, exotic plants have escaped cultivation or have spread from its origin and have become a problem or a potential problem in natural biological communities. For example, black locust, a tree that is native to the southern Appalachian region and portions of Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri, was planted throughout the U.S. for living fences, erosion control, and other uses for many years. Black locust is considered exotic outside its natural native range because it got to these places Kudzu is an invasive exotic plant that has spread by human introduction rather than by natural from Japan and China to become a large problem in dispersion. It has become invasive, displacing native much of the US. Local, state, and the federal species and adversely impacting ecosystems and governments spend millions of dollars per year to several endangered native bird species that depend on control the spread of kudzu. Even yearly control other plants for food, as well as several endangered may not be enough to successfully remove kudzu. Seeds can remain dormant in the plant species.
