This plant, which still thrives in unimproved wet ground around us in Dorset, causes hot debate in the family when it comes to attributing common names. My Father, a born and bred Dorset farmer, insists they are cuckoo flowers, while my Mother, born on Dartmoor in Devon, calls them Milkmaids. What ever pet name you give them, even if it is Lady’s Smock, they are beautiful. evergreen, Spring flowering plants for moist or wet conditions in sun or partial shade. Flore Pleno is a double form with fully double lilac coloured roses. This form sets no seed but can spread by vegetative means in sufficiently moist conditions. In fact meadows of the double form have been reported throughout Europe, although I have never seen a double flowered Cardamine growing in the wild myself. The double form has been recorded since the 1650’s. Shorter than the species.
