Description
I don’t think I need to write too much about the lord of the Corydalis. Wonderful foliage, cold hardy, reliable, handsome, floriferous, fragrant….so we allow him a few ‘minuses’ like going dormant in mid summer.
In most cases it will spread and start to produce too many seeds, like most other Corydalis.
It has not happened for me though; I still have to rely on friends for seeds. I am looking forward to the day when it will start ‘running’ around the garden.
It can flower starting in the third year when started from seeds; I recommend to grow it with a fair good amount of sun; too much shade will make for leggy specimens.
Germination: best with seeds sown fresh or if kept moist allowed: warm/cold cycles. Sow in pots asap and leave outdoors for the winter or provide the warm/cold cycles in moist vermiculite.
Grow the seedlings in the same pot for at least 2 years then plant it in the garden when dormant.
Update: shown in the gallery – images of moist stored seeds with split seed coats and germination starts in February to mid March/April.
