(Dicentra cucullaria)

A native perennial of the northeastern US, Dutchman’s Breeches are occasionally found in rich woods and north slope river banks in the NC mountain counties (such as near the head of the Profile Trail). Similar to Squirrel Corn, the basal spurs of the flowers of this species are 1/2 or more the total flower length and are also more divergent. March-April.

  • My wife and I along with our daughter, son in law and grand daughter recently visited the mountains and one of the highlights was our trip the Grandfather Mt. The reason it was great was because everything is handicap accessible.  My wife is wheelchair bound and we were able to include her in everything even the bridge. She was so happy because she was able to tell everyone the story of the first time she ever walked across the bridge and how it was made of wood. The animal park was the best and the highlight for our grand daughter. We were on vacation for a week and the trip to Grandfather was the last day and we truly saved the best for last. Thank you for all you do to make this State Treasure open to all.
