These plants are one of the most popular garden flowers, as the Cutleaf Toothwort is a favorite by horticulturists around the world. Its stems grow from a slim, segmented rhizome where there are tooth-like projections on the root. The hairless leaves are greyish green to medium green and each leaf is about 3 inches long and across. Each four-petal flower is composed of green/purple sepals, and the stamens have yellow anthers, and one pistil. Cutleaf Toothwort is known as ‘a true ephemeral species' because it only puts on a show for a little more than a month above ground before the foliage turns yellow and the plant goes dormant.
