Cardamine trifolia

Description

Plant this hardy species in a moist, shady grove, and watch as the dense, leafy carpet of dark green foliage gradually unfurls. In March and April crisp white florets on 6-inch flower-heads pay their annual visit. Native to Italy and the Balkans, and among the finest and most versatile of woodland perennials, this species thrives in a very wide range of North American climates. For the shaded garden and moist, well-draining soil.
