Squirrel Corn Plants are a spring ephemeral.
The Squirrel Corn plant, whose botanical name is Dicentra Canadensis, is usually grown for its beautiful flowers.
The Plant dies back after its blooming period; It is dormant during the summer, fall, and winter seasons. The perennial is native to eastern North America and grows in forests and woodlands.
Besides its lovely blooms, this perennial is known for its unique shaped roots. At the roots’ end are yellow nodules that resemble corn on the cob.
The flowers are heart shapes, similar to those of the bleeding heart. They are pinkish-white. The bloom is less than a half-inch wide and about an inch long. The spring-blooming Plant has a considerably short blooming season.
They start to bloom in April and end in May. The flowers’ stems are dark green, sometimes with a touch of brown, and point downwards. As the flowers fade away, the leaves from the Plant begin to take center stage.
Squirrel Corn Plants Thrives In Zones 4-9
The triangular leaves can be green with a hint of blue or gray. The bottom of the leaves is light green. They can grow to be about ten inches in length. They tend to divide multiple times, creating a lace pattern much like the fern.
The surface of the leaves is smooth to the touch but has a waxy texture underneath. The plants grow to about a foot in height.
These plants are easy to grow and perform best if grown in hardiness zones 4 through 7. The plants prefer shady or partially shady locations. Their soil preference is well-drained, moist, rich soil.
