I have heard that the blue corydalis really doesn't like our zone 5/6
climate and will not live a long time for us. Think of it as a very
expensive annual that may live over for a couple of years!
C. ochroleuca, now, sounds like a good one to try. Gene, does it closely
resemble C. lutea, because I have seen what I thought was a white C. lutea
several places (I think maybe even at your nursery) and have been wanting
some for years.
