Cuckoo Flower 9cm Pot Plants Cardamine pratensis

Common names include lady's smock.

Bring a touch of spring charm to your garden with cuckoo flower. This dainty native perennial produces clusters of soft lilac-pink to pale violet flowers from April to June, brightening damp meadows, pond edges, and shaded corners. A vital early food source for pollinators, it is especially important for the orange-tip butterfly, whose caterpillars feed on its leaves.

Cuckoo flower thrives in moist, fertile soils and is well suited to wildlife gardens, damp meadow plantings, and naturalistic borders. Hardy and graceful, it will self-seed lightly where happy, adding to its natural appeal.

Grown in the UK from native seed, our 9cm pot plants are ideal for establishing resilient wildflower areas where sowing seed may be less reliable.

For best results, we recommend planting 3 per square metre, grouping at least 3 of each species together to create a natural, flourishing look.
