 | Common name : Silver-leaved Corydalis |
 |  |
|
|
 |  |
| A stunning selection of Corydalis from China. This forms an elegant mound of lacy coppery-green leaves with a silver center. Flowers are like little soft lavender lockets with a deeper purple throat and lips, appearing in mid to late spring. Best in regions with cool summers. In hotter regions plants may go dormant in mid summer, sometimes coming up again in the fall, or otherwise the following spring. Choose a rich, woodland soil that remains evenly moist. Dislikes summer drought. Divide carefully in early spring.
