Corydalis flexuosa forms a spreading mat of fern-like foliage, often with a bronze tint, from which clusters of dainty tubular, sky-blue flowers appear in late spring. It's perfect for using to fill gaps in a partially shaded border or planting under trees and shrubs.

Corydalis flexuosa 'Porcelain Blue' bears incredibly intense aqua-blue flowers over a very long period, usually blooming right into autumn. Grow three or five plants in a group to make the greatest effect in a larger garden.

Grow Corydalis flexuosa 'Porcelain Blue' in moist but well-drained soil in light shade. Lift and divide congested clumps in autumn. Explore the Corydalis variety 'China Blue'.
