Corydalis flexuosa 'China Blue'

Corydalis flexuosa forms a spreading mat of fern-like foliage, often with a bronze tint, from which clusters of dainty tubular, sky-blue flowers appear in late spring. It's perfect for using to fill gaps in a partially shaded border or planting under trees and shrubs.

Corydalis flexuosa 'China Blue' has incredibly intense blue flowers – few other plants have flowers of such a gloom-piercing blue, which ranges from almost turquoise to mid china blue. Grow three or five plants in a group to make the greatest effect in a larger garden. Beautiful plants for adding spring detail to a woodland garden, or a humus rich border in the shade of shrubs.

Grow Corydalis flexuosa 'China Blue' in moist but well-drained soil in light shade. Lift and divide congested clumps in autumn. Explore other Corydalis varieties such as 'Porcelain Blue'.
