| 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. In hot areas, plants generally 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. Spreads slowly to form a patch. Evergreen.
