Hello Bill,
I have not tried to germinate and grow the bulb type corydalis from
seed. Stands to reason they would take longer than the ones with a simple
swollen root.. Although, I have had the little corydalis solida in the
garden for some years now and it scatters about by seed and seems to bloom
readily enough. Even there, I have not attempted to keep track of new
foliage to bloom.
One of these days I am going to have to jump in there with you and order
a bunch of the more rare bulb type corydalis for my garden.
