No, I don't have it. I just received about a dozen corydalis from Janis
Ruksans, but they're all C. solida types. Ruksans catalog divides corydalis
into two types: Woodlanders and Steppelanders. Solida are woodlanders,
preferring peaty soil that never dries out completely and light shade.
Steppelanders "or bulb-belt species generally are sun-lovers and need dryer
summer conditions." Of C. glaucescens, he says "Flowers variable from almost
pure white to light pinkish lilac in beautiful dense racemes. " He doesn't
refer to scree conditions for any of the corydalis.
