Good question, Leena!   I'm not sure - but Ian says  most of these corydalis are very promiscuous.

I have collected seeds from 'Abant Wine' and sowed them now in three years, it will be interesting to see how other seedlings will look in years to come. There are lots of bees in the garden now so there is no way to prevent cross pollination. :)

They look very colourful plants Leena, well worth growing.

Thanks David and Gabriela, I'm very happy with them myself, too.
I have wanted to increase the red corydalis in the garden (most of my seedlings seem to produce purplish or pink flowers), and that red is really great color, and I also like the flower and leaf shape.

It's either too sunny or raining so not a very good image, but this is it - Corydalis nobilis is flowering. And a young one is also flowering for the first time :)

Gabriela,
Will you be selling fresh seeds of C nobilis (assuming it sets seed)?

Lovely and also fragrant Fred!

Carolyn - assuming it sets more than just few seeds, I will offer them for trade (preferably for other Corydalis sp.). If a lucky year and plenty, I will offer for sale.

A few weeks ago, whilst on a visit to Norfolk, I picked up a few blue Corydalis, C. 'Spinners', C. 'Tory Blue' and C. 'Craigton Blue'. This was my third plant of 'Craigton Blue' having lost the previous two. Surely the gardener at fault Ian and Maggi and not the plants :( . I planted out my new plants last week before we embarked for a few days in Kent. When we came back yesterday all three of them had been grazed to the soil level (probably snails which thrive everywhere in my garden!).

I wonder if I dig up the remnants and re-plant them elsewhere they might just re-grow. Is this likely please?

Cheers Maggi, I don't like giving £14.00 meals to snails.

Do you need to lift and replant them David? Why not just sprinkle some slug/snail bait?
