Rock Garden Plants A to Z:
BACK
Corydalis- (Corydalis)
Corydalis cashmeriana |
The foliage of Corydalis is ferny and delicate and each tubular bloom
is spurred at the rear and lipped at the front. Some are fibrous-rooted-
the rest arise from tubers. There is no basic color. One species is bright
blue, some are yellow and others are white or pink. One species will spread
and flower everywhere but another may fail to flower even in expert hands.
VARIETIES:
Pride
of place must go to the much-praised
C.
cashmeriana with clusters of pure blue flowers-height 6 in., spread 6 in., flowering
period April-June. There is a problem- it is difficult and needs peaty,
well-drained and cool soil.
C.
lutea is much easier to grow- the flowers are just ordinary yellow but
they appear from March to October. Others include
C.
wilsonii (blue foliage, yellow flowers, needs winter rain protection)and
C.
solida (rose, purple or white
flowers).
SITE
& SOIL: Requires well-drained open soil - thrives in sun or
partial shade.
PROPAGATION:
Sow seeds under glass or divide clumps in spring.
