Corydalis solida

Lovely to see the pink version.

So very pretty......

Thanks, am I right in thinking the blue are more tender?

I do know they are very fussy about the growing conditions.but on the otherhand should be good for your banks leading down to the water Dawn..The yellow one must have full sun.

Thanks Meadow

I don't find the blue more or less hardy or fussy but unlike C solida which has a corm the blues usually C flexuosa that I grow don't have a corm.
I have them in light /dappled shade in reasonable soil and drainage. The C lutea [bright yellow] is less tolerant of shade but C chelianthifolia [a buttery yellow]needs some shade.

That’s interesting Seaburn, so do you think solida with having the corm makes them easier to grow?
I have a few of these solida in the woodland doing well, got them for £1.99 :) Secret Gardening Club.

I think the corm makes them more tolerant of the conditions in the woodland. So they survive better and need less checking. I have 3 Blue ones that come year on year but I have lost at least 4 varieties. So some parts of my garden aren't suitable. I am hoping to get some more species but some like acid and I am very alkaline.

It’s a shame you lost some, annoying isn’t it.
I need tough stuff so thankfully the solida should continue to do ok for me, thank you

super colour ...

Thanks Terra, I hope you are well
