Cutleaft Toothwort
Cardamine concatenata
Cutleaf Toothwort is a delicate spring ephemeral that blankets woodlands with clusters of dainty white flowers. Its deeply lobed leaves form a lush carpet on the forest floor. Blooming in early spring, Cutleaf Toothwort attracts early pollinators with its nectar-rich flowers before going dormant in summer. This woodland gem thrives in shaded to partially shaded areas with moist, well-drained soil, making it an ideal choice for naturalizing beneath deciduous trees. With given its ephemeral nature, don't be alarmed Cutleaf Toothwort seems to vanish before summer even arrives - it will be back again with spring the following year!
