Cutleaf Toothwort

Cardamine concatenata

Small and sweet, cutleaf toothwort is a delightfully dainty sign of spring. Small white flowers rise in graceful clusters above distinctly lobed leaves, lighting up the woodland garden in early spring. As an ephemeral, this plant goes dormant in the summer, so plant with later emerging perennials and enjoy the blooms while they’re here!

Conditions: Part shade; moist soil
Size: <1′ tall
