Common name: Cuckooflower

Latin name: Cardamine pratensis

Description: An early bloomer, the Cuckooflower is so called because its flowering often coincides with the first cuckoo call of the year. Cuckooflower is common throughout the UK, preferring damp ground such as wet grassland, damp meadows, pond margins and stream or riverbanks.

Height: 60cm

Flowering time: April to June

Colour: Pale lilac to white

Management: The Cuckooflower prefers moist soil and can cope with dappled sunlight. The plants should be lifted and divided every three to four years in spring or autumn.

Kindly be aware that as autumn approaches, our wildflower plants might be delivered in a state where they appear to have passed their peak. We strive to inform you about this at the time of your order. It is common for native plants to exhibit leaf blotches or have dead/brown leaves during specific times of the year; this is entirely natural. We assure you that we meticulously inspect the root condition, ensuring their robust health. Once planted, the plug plant will respond accordingly.

Please understand that owing to the perishable nature of our plug plants, the usual right to cancel does not apply.
