Corydalis species have an interesting history with me. It seems like the fancier they are, the less likely they are to survive. I\u2019ve tried the pretty blue ones (C. flexulosa hybrids) in the past and they don\u2019t ever recover from their first dormancy. I\u2019ve also tried the less fancy C. lutea and found it to be coarser and weedy, but welcome in a shady, difficult spot. My happy Corydalis medium is Corydalis solida. This ephemeral spring bulb is up with the snowdrops and blooms just after. Mine were blooming in the memory garden by the end of February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
