Corydalis flexuosa ‘Golden Panda’
Blue Corydalis |
USDA Zone: 5-9 |
Plant number: 1.167.140
Several selection of Blue Corydalis are now available, but this one is quite unique. Plants form a clump of elegant, lacy leaves, green in spring, becoming chartreuse yellow. Dangling clusters of bright-blue flowers contrast beautifully. Best in regions with cool summers, where the plants can be in flower from spring right through to late fall. In hot areas plants generally go dormant in mid summer, sometimes coming up again in the fall, or otherwise in spring. Choose a rich, woodland soil that remains evenly moist. USPP#13254: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
