Cardamine diphylla
Cardamine diphylla is a cute wintergreen groundcover with clusters of small, white, four-petaled flowers in spring popular with bees and butterflies.
Cardamine diphylla (syn. Dentaria diphylla) is an eastern North American mustard relative called broadleaf toothwort or crinkleroot with trifoliate, toothed leaves often with lighter veins emerging in fall, remaining evergreen through winter, and going dormant by early summer. Makes a useful wintergreen groundcover. In spring the plants produce clusters of small, white, four-petaled flowers popular with bees and butterflies. Can form nice colonies via spreading rhizomes and self-seeding. Photo: Wikipedia.
