cohan, I grow my trifoliata with only some morning sun, the rest of the day it is in the shade of some shrubs.

My C. trifoliata is also shaded under a crabapple, no direct sun.  I wouldn't say the foliage is glaucous though - just green, really... quite evergreen, too.

Hmmm, I just realized that there is apparently both a C. trifoliata (native to Nepal, etc.) and a C. trifolia (native to N.A.  correction: Europe)... I have mine listed as the former, but now I wonder if that's correct.  I wonder what the differences are?

No, I don't know, Lori. I just bought Stephens name from his picture but when I look into the matter I think I have C. trifolia (a European species?)! Have to go out tomorrow and look closer!

looks like that one would take more time to research than i am willing to devote to it! (or knowing the right places to look!)
a quick googling did not clear up the matter: google wanted me to always say 'trifolia' and image searches for both seem to have a lot of overlap
heronswood lists C trifolia, native to italy and balkans, height 6 inches; they don't say evergreen..
http://www.heronswood.com/perennials_cardamine/cardamine-trifolia/

edrom lists C trifoliata, 32.5-45 cm high, evergreen

Oops, looks like I drew some erroneous conclusions from my quick look!  Yes, I see now that C. trifolia has a European range.  (I saw something about its use by settlers in the Appalachians that made me think, wrongly, that it was a native N. A. plant.)  That seems to be the one I have, based on the size (and probably on availability)... Some reports say it is evergreen, some not don't mention it.

maybe with a wide range there are natural variations in its habit..

My plants are evergreen, that's a fact! Even the strong cold doesn't turn one leaf brown!
The New Royal Horticultural Society Dictionary of Gardening lists many cardamines but only one trifolia, not trifoliata.
Flowers of Himalaya by Adam Stainton mentions a few but neither trifolia or trifoliata.
Maybe trifoliata is a misnomer?
Here's my plant today!

I discovered my error yesterday and had just come in to correct this and I see it's already discovered ;) I'm pretty sure it's C. trifolia, the Trifoliate Bittercress,  I have. It's noted in my Alpine flora as being found in moist woods and shady places, often on limestone to 1400m.

The other one (from the Himalayas) is, believe it or not, TRIFOLIOLATA (IPNI names database). Why that extra "OL"? Why not Trifolioliolioata? See also: http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/search?q=cardamine

Ok, make sense, Stephen, but I can't find trifoliolata either in any of my books! That species can't be commonly grown!

No, I've never seen it.

It's in the Flora of China: http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200009348

If you have problems with ' trifoliotralala ' - why don't you use the Chinese name ?

not that difficult!      ;)

No problem, Gerd. I've recorded my rendering of the Chinese and you can hear it here:

(You will need to click on listen)

..and, yes, my voice hasn't broken yet... ;)

Did I pronounce it correctly?

Ah ha!  Thank you for explaining it, Gerd! 
I see that I was misled by this site, which looks like they got the range right but the name wrong ("trifoliata" when they evidently meant "trifoliolata"):
http://www.icimod.org/hkhconservationportal/Plant.aspx?ID=6816

Aside from that, it looks like "trifoliata" is used quite a lot (incorrectly, it seems) in reference to C. trifolia, as well!
