 of them a good 100' away!  I also tried C. Blue Panda with the same results.

Gail, do you have reliable snow cover there?

I have 2 kinds, the C. lutea which reseeded alot only 1 out of 2 winters
that I've had it, and then only within a 10' diameter circle.  The other is
our native C. sempervirens (pale corydalis), which is reseeding amongst my
Dicentra eximia (wild bleeding heart).  The leaf shape is so similar it's
hard to notice the difference (for me) except that the corydalis has bluer
folliage and pink and yellow flowers.  It doesn't bloom as prolifically as C.
lutea, but that's ok for a more subtle look in my woodland garden.
