Blue Corydalis |

Plant number: 1.167.200
Several selection of Blue Corydalis are now available. This one forms a clump of elegant, lacy green leaves, bearing upright stems with dangling tubular flowers of bright electric-blue. Best in regions with cool summers, where the plants can be in flower from spring into late fall.

Dislikes summer drought. Divide carefully in early spring. Spreads slowly to form a patch. Evergreen.
