Woollen-breeches
Hydrophyllum capitatum
Woollen-breeches is a charming early-spring native perennial best suited to shaded, moist woodland settings in western North America. It produces clusters of delicate lavender to white flowers before most other plants emerge, making it a wonderful choice for naturalizing under deciduous trees. Keep the soil consistently moist and rich in organic matter for best results.
