Re: corydalis

I bought 3 plants of c.lutea (which I'm sure were the true plant) about
9 years ago and now the seeded plants cover probably 30 square feet or
more, all around the beds.  I leave it as fillers here & there and pull
up the rest.  It is a very pretty, ferny plant with finely divided
foliage (but not bronzy), but doesn't flop - makes graceful dainty
mounds about 8-10 inches high. It's the kind of plant that everyone
wants a clump of so I give a lot away, though I find it hard to
transplant at times. It's invaluable as filler & ground cover in my
shady bed with hostas, ferns, rodgersias, astilbes, hakonochloa,
kiringeshoma, various shrubs, etc., contrasting nicely with the
large-leaved plants and taller things - and blooms from May to October.
Loves to seed amongst rocks which looks very nice. 

I'd like to try the white one as well - can you recommend a good
supplier?

I did buy a pot of C. lutea from a reputable perennial nursery locally a  couple weeks ago and the plant looks very different--somewhat bronzey foliage  when young.  The wild one here is very rangy, foliage flopped all over the  place.
