Cardamine diphylla

Plant rhizome segments in fall in deeply humus-rich, moist, slightly acidic woodland soil in full shade; toothwort is among the most charming native edibles of the eastern woodland, producing pairs of deeply cut, coarsely toothed leaves on erect stems topped with clusters of small white to pale pink four-petaled flowers in early spring alongside trout lilies and trilliums. The toothlike, segmented underground rhizomes have a sharp, peppery wasabi-horseradish flavor and were gathered by Native Americans and early colonists as a condiment; they can be grated fresh or fermented like horseradish sauce. A true spring ephemeral, the entire plant disappears by late spring after setting seed, forming expanding colonies in rich, shaded conditions. Plant with other spring ephemerals — trout lily, bloodroot, Virginia bluebells — in a rich, shaded woodland garden for a sequence of color from late winter through May before the canopy closes. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження діленням куща Відстань між рослинами: 6–9 дюймів Висота: 8–14 дюймів

Спосіб посадки: Розмноження діленням куща Відстань між рослинами: 6–9 дюймів Висота: 8–14 дюймів --- Час посадки: -8–-4 тижнів осіння посадка Plant rhizome segments 1–2 inches deep in fall in moist, deeply humus-rich, slightly acidic, well-drained woodland soil in full shade; toothwort is a spring ephemeral that goes completely dormant by early summer — mark its location carefully to avoid disturbing the rhizomes when dormant.
