\"Cordialis<\/a>
\n
\nCorydalis popovii <\/strong>is a small bulbous plant flowering up to 6 inches in height. In spring it assumes a white colouring after the purple flowers. This plant comes from Central Asia and is easy to grow and long-lived in a well-drained compost in a pot.
\nThey can be grown in the open garden in full sun and freely drained soil.
\nFertilize with a specific fertilizer for bulbous plants, every 2-3 weeks, from when the first flowers start withering.
\nCorydalis plants don’t like cold temperatures or wet conditions and need a rest period before being brought back into growth.<\/p>\n

\"Corydalis<\/a><\/p>\n

Corydalis wilsonii <\/strong>arrived from it’s native china comparatively recently.
\nIt is a compact herbaceous plant with light green leaves.
\nIt flowers on errect spikes, 1″ long, in a deep yellow during late spring.
\nThis variety is suitable for growing in pots.<\/p>\n

I have just bought a Corydalis Kingfisher from the local AGS meeting. Kingfisher has blue flowers with a hint of green from March to Aug and is only without flowers when dormant during winter.<\/p>\n
