 lutea, which is a dark green foliage with bright yellow blooms. The C.

Hmmmm, maybe that's why my C. luteas are doing so well!  I've been trying to
water that are more so my hostas would do better.  From what you say, Gene,
would you expect my Corydalis to start to decline if I'm able to keep more
moisture in the soil?
