It's very nice that way too. The corydalis are used to support a return of cold without any damage.
The book on corydalis by Tebbitt, Liden and Zetterlund says that C. Pachycentra grows in NW Yunnan, from 3500 - 5000m, mainly on alpine meadow slopes with grass turf and open soil. This suggests to me a cool position, but not in dense woodland - a more open area. Having said that, my 2 year old plant, growing in light shade, is no bigger than when I bought it!Maybe Fred is right and it just needs time.
Thank you all for comments. I think I will try them in more sun, the trouble is that my only slope may be too dry, but I'll think of something. Perhaps placing a big rock and planting behind it or something like that.Corydalis solida is also here hardy, C.malkensis is above ground and we have had now still -3C at nights, and they are ok.
I find the scent, though lighter, somewhat reminiscent of a mixture of Hyacinthus and Convolaria
Hello everyone, last week I went to the festival of the castle of Enghien plants in Belgium. I brought a Corydalis solida 'George Baker' during late flowering. I also bought a Corydalis elata has not yet flowered and Corydalis flexuosa 'Purple Leaf' is in bloom. It is this that I put you in photos.
