Broadleaf Toothwort
Cardamine diphylla
This darling plant is a beautiful addition to the spring landscape. Planting under deciduous shrubs and trees allows this beauty to wake up early in the spring but still remain protected from the heat of summer. White bell-shaped flowers emerge from two trifoliate leaves in late March to attract early pollinators.
