 mind if it does want to seed around.
 
 Here's a photo if it:

C. sempervirens is native to the East Coast and grows well for me.  Marge, 
this plant should also be cut back around one foot high and will produce a 
fountain of beautiful blue lacy foliage.  I behaves as a biennial here but 
makes a lot of seed.  Therefore it can grow and bloom in every month of the 
summer.  That is it will germinate all summer long.  Since it looks like 
every other blue lacy Corydalis you can tell it is sempervirens as near 
flowering time, it put on height.  If you need more seed, sent a note.  I 
collect this one for NARGS.

Corydalis solida in some of it's many forms is bargain priced in the fall 
bulb catalogs (yup, already here) so you can plant a big patch somewhere 
remembering that it will go dormant when the heat sets in.
