Betty,
I'm in zone 5 also and am growing corydalis bleu panda. I've had no problem
with wintering them over in three different locations for about 3 or 4 years.
We've been down to 20 below this winter with all that wonderful snow cover,
so I'm hoping they'll be ok.
I'll tell you what I do with special ferns that are zone 5/6. I build a
little tent around them with some 1 x 2 stakes and staple burlap around on the
stakes. When it gets really cold, usually over Christmas vacation, I throw
some leaves in on top of the plant inside the tent. I have had good luck
wintering things that are marginal here. Maybe you could try that.

I'm addicted to the blues and would appreciate hearing from anybody who has
good advice on how to hold these beauties over.
