Adding early spring color to the woodland garden, Cardamine concatenata (Cutleaf Toothwort) is a rhizomatous perennial boasting charming clusters of small, four-petaled, white flowers, sometimes tinged with pink, in early to late spring. The flowers sit atop an erect stem clad with a whorl of finely divided, toothed leaves. Cutleaf Toothwort is a spring ephemeral, emerging before the leaves leaf out on deciduous trees and going dormant by early summer. Quite resilient, Cardamine concatenata spreads slowly by running rhizomes to form a lovely carpet over time. It is perfectly suited to woodland gardens or any shady areas where it can be allowed to naturalize.
