Cardamine pratensis (Lady's smock)

Cardamine pratensis, commonly known as cuckooflower or lady's smock, is a clump-forming perennial with finely divided, bright green leaves forming low rosettes. In spring, it produces delicate, saucer-shaped flowers in pale lilac to pink, held on slender stems above the foliage, creating a soft, naturalistic display in damp meadows and pond margins.

This species is highly valued for pollinators, providing nectar for bees, butterflies, and other insects. Its compact habit and charming spring flowers make it ideal for wildflower meadows, damp borders, and wildlife-friendly garden schemes.
