My Bears Breeches has Southern exposure and sunshine till late afternoon. This is a 6 year old transplant from a single root section. I cut up several sections to give to relatives after the first year. That next year I had no flowers and thought I ruined my plant. But it came back with a vengeance the following year and every year thereafter. It spreads very well and its not recommended to plant this close to the house. This photo from 2003 reflects its 23 shoots with flowers. When I trimmed it back for the winter I found number 24 hiding down inside, and its still flowering. My flowers stood near 6 feet!

One of the most photogenic of all tough, easy (too easy?) perennials. Right up there with Echinacae.

6 day old seedling of Bear's Breeches. I was thrilled to see it sprout given that I had only one seed.

1 year old plant, died back completely during a drought, but came back soon as there was regular rain. These are the new little sprouts.

Growing in Dublin Zoo, Ireland. Beautiful plant and flower but very invasive especially in wamer climates.

Good architectural plant with wonderfully subtle color -- have had no trouble with exceeding boundaries.
