Corydalis flexuosa ‘Blue Panda’


Blue Corydalis

USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.167.100


Several selection of Blue Corydalis are now available, but this was the first to reach North America. Plants form a clump of elegant, lacy green leaves, bearing upright stems with dangling tubular flowers in the most amazing electric-blue shade. 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. Dislikes summer drought. Divide carefully in early spring.
