  I have C. lutea beneath my front porch where nothing else will grow,
 even Lamium.  The yellow Corydalis flowers are pretty there in the
 darkness; even yellow flowers are better than bare dirt.  ;-)

 I've never heard anyone describe the blue-flowered Corydalis as anything
 but a challenge, probably why they still command high prices.  Been
 there, killed that.  I'll bet these thrive somewhere where there aren't
 hot, dry summers, such as the Pacific Northwest or England.  >>

===>At a perennial seminar a couple years ago the speaker talked about 
perennials that flourish in our area.  He asked for a show of hands of how 
many in the audience had ever grown 'Blue Panda'--nearly every hand went up.  
Then he asked how many still had it--not a single hand, and this was an 
audience of over 200 people!  There must be somewhere it flourishes, but not 
here.
