Cardamine bulbosa, commonly called bulbous bittercress[4] or spring cress,[5] 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.[6] Its natural habitat is moist soils of bottomland forests and swamps, often in calcareous areas.[4]
In late spring and early summer, white flowers are produced well above the foliage.[7] Its leaves are edible, and have a peppery taste.[8]
