Cardamine bulbosa, commonly called bulbous bittercress[2] or spring cress,[3] is a perennial plant in the mustard family. It is native to a widespread area of eastern North America, in both Canada and the United States.[4] Its natural habitat is moist soils of bottomland forests and swamps, often in calcareous areas.[2]
In late spring and early summer, white flowers are produced well above the foliage.[5] Its leaves are edible, and have a peppery taste.[6]
