Bulbous bittercress
Cardamine bulbosa
Bulbous bittercress is a charming native spring ephemeral that produces delicate white flowers in early spring before going dormant in summer. Plant it in moist, humus-rich soil in partial shade, such as at the edge of a woodland garden or along a stream bank. It requires minimal care once established and naturalizes well in suitable conditions.
