Corydalis lutea
Corydalis
zones 5-7
|
 Description:
Everything about this perennial is dainty and refined. Fresh green,
fern-like leaves are held in softly falling tiers, resembling the fronds of
Maiden-Hair Fern. Beginning in late spring, clusters of light yellow
to rich gold flowers, somewhat like those of the fringed bleeding heart,
hover just above the foliage. Though blooming is heaviest in late spring, C.
lutea will continue to produce flowers thru mid-fall if plants are
kept moist. Use this plant in cottage gardens, shaded rock gardens, or in
containers. |
