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.

Corydalis grows best in moist, well-drained soils that are alkaline. Adding lime to the soil will help to achieve these conditions. However, C. cheilanthifolia tends to tolerate drier conditions better than the other species. Though it will grow in full sun with consistant moisture, this plant prefers partial shade. It self-seeds freely, and these seedlings can easily be transplanted to other locations or removed.
