How do you propagate Corydalis?
Corydalis plants can be propagated by carefully dividing established clumps in early spring. Seeds should be sown directly in the garden where they are to grow, in the fall.
How do you plant Corydalis?
Corydalis plants are easily grown in well-drained soil in part shade to full shade. The optimal soil would be a humus-rich, consistently moist soil but remember the drainage must be good. If the plant sits in water, it will rot. Wet soil in winter would be fatal to the plant.
Are Corydalis annual or perennial?
Corydalis lutea, commonly called yellow fumitory or yellow corydalis, is a woodland perennial which typically forms a mound of ferny, medium green foliage to 15" tall and 18" wide and produces bright yellow, short-spurred flowers (3/4" long) in axillary racemes over a long May to September bloom period.
How do you grow Corydalis lutea from seed?

Seeds require a period of cold and damp to germinate. Sow indoors at any time, sow under glass in spring or autumn. Under glass, surface sow onto moist, well-drained seed compost. Do not cover seed as light is needed for germination.
How do you care for Corydalis?
It prefers a neutral or alkaline pH soil as well. Water often enough to keep the soil moist and feed the plants with a shovelful of compost or a gentle organic fertilizer in spring before the buds begin to open.
How do you grow Corydalis porcelain blue?
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.
