Outdoor Cultivation: Soil, ordinary, good. Position, well-drained sunny borders, ledges of rockeries, fissures in old walls. Plant perennial and biennial species in March. |
Annual species by seeds sown in April where plants are to flower; perennials by seed as for annuals, transplanting seedlings to permanent positions when large enough to handle; also by division of the plants after flowering; bulbous species by offsets in March. |
Perennial Species Cultivated: Corydalis cashmeriana, blue, April, 6 inches (15 cms) Corydalis cheilanth-ifolia, yellow, summer, 10 inches (25 cms) Corydalis halleri (Corydalis solida), purple, April, 6 inches (15 cms) Corydalis lutea, yellow, spring and summer, 12 inches (30 cms) Corydalis nobilis, yellow, May, 12 inches (30 cms) Corydalis wilsonii, yellow, May, 9 inches (22.5 cms)
Annual Species Cultivated: |
Corydalis solida (Corydalis bulbosa, Corydalis halleri, Fumewort, The species, solida, is from solido, meaning to make whole. |
Glaucous, finely divided, ferny foliage emerges from an underground tuber-like root in early spring, soon joined by spikes of intricate flowers, each one elongated, lipped in front, with a curved spur behind. Typical flowers are a rather liverish, purple to pink, but Corydalis solida 'George Baker' has brick-red blooms. |
Beautiful woodlander, happy with primroses, celandines, scillas and miniature daffodils. Corydalis are highly useful at the front of a woodland border, with crocus, in front of dicentra or with miniature bulbs such as muscari or scillas. They can also be grown in pots of gritty soil, but keep compost cool and moist in summer. Partnered with hostas or hardy geraniums, they break into leaf after the corydalis vanish. Outdoor Cultivation: Soil, ordinary, good. Position, well-drained sunny borders, ledges of rockeries, fissures in old walls. Plant perennial and biennial species in March. |
Annual species of Corydalis by seeds sown in April where plants are to flower; perennials by seed as for annuals, transplanting seedlings to permanent positions when large enough to handle; also by division of the plants after flowering; bulbous species by offsets in March. |
Evergreen Rhododendron hippophaeoides (Acers, Camellias and Magnolias all make excellent companion plants for Rhododendrons as well as others) in open heath-like areas with Corydalis solida. Scilla siberica is useful as an edging plant. Its flowers combine greenish blue and purplish blue, and produce dramatic contrasts with white (Corydalis solida 'Snowstorm'), yellow, or yellow-green flowers, such as early flowering euphorbias, narcissi, smaller tulips, crocuses, and snowdrops.
