Corydalis 'Blackberry Wine'

[ height 10-18 in., purple flowers, spring thru summer, sun to part shade, clump former, self sows ]

Corydalis is best when grown in a moist, slightly alkaline soil. The foliage is lacy and delicate, yet forms in clumps with tiny cool green leaves that scatter densely about. Blooms throughout the season, but profusely in spring, with another surge when temperatures cool off later in the season. Self sows freely.
