Corydalis cheilanthifolia

Common Name: Corydalis

With foliage resembling ferny fronds, this species of corydalis remains decorative throughout the season. From late spring to early summer, dozens of short spikes loaded with bright yellow, tubular flowers appear just above the mounded foliage. They naturally light up the area in which they are planted, making these indispensible plants for the shade garden. Also try growing this variety in rock walls or between the stepping stones on a well-drained path.
