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. We offer three different forms. This one is the strongest mauve we could find bearing many spikes 15 inches (38cm) tall of bright four-petalled blossoms from April until June.

Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or over

Cardamines are the food plant of the Orange Tip Butterfly. Its not unusual to see dew soaked butterfly resting on a flower stem on a cool Spring morning. They lay their egs singly on the flowering stems.

Dorset Perennials – plants direct from the heart of Dorset.

At Dorset Perennials you will find a husband and wife team, Dawn and Martin, who have been plantsmen and nurserymen for nearly 25 years. Our nursery, situated in the North of Dorset close to the Somerset border, is full of the plants we love. There’s no overall theme, just an eclectic mix of perennials that, for one reason or another, we consider well worth growing. We have plants for shade, plants for sun, plants for wildlife and a few more just because. In short all the perennials you would ever need to make a garden full of colour throughout the year and full of the plants you need to make it hum with wildlife. We’ve tried to make this website full of inspirational colour and easy to use. The shop page has a nifty plant selector sidebar which can be used to filter our plants by size, colour season and so forth to help you quickly pin down the right plant for a particular spot. We’ve added picture pages showing plant associations to inspire you, or if you need a little advice just give us a call.
