CORYDALIS SOLIDA Top Size #CS01
Native from the Balkans to Scandinavia, Corydalis soli- da is ideal for naturalizing in moist areas as it multiplies readily once established and rarely grows over 6" tall. The plants drape nicely over walls and crevices or the joints of steps. Racemes of dainty light purple blooms appear in April above finely cut fern-like foliage. The 1" tubular flowers have a slightly pouched bottom petal, giving the flower a 2-lipped appearance. [Ht: 6", Bl: M, Zones: 5 to 9, S/SSH, 36/sq.yd.] 12 for 7.95 48 for 26.95
Look to the species crocuses for a bit of daring and adventure. After all, these crocuses hail from homelands that include Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Italy, Greece, Asia Minor and China. The flowers of the species are miniature when compared to their Dutch cousins, but the species definitely hold the upper hand when it comes to color, especially the bicolored species which are exotically feathered or dusted with a secondary hue.
Easily grown and free-flowering, spring flowering species crocuses will increase their kind from year to year. When you order, keep in mind the naturally smaller size of the species corms because you’ll want enough to form tight groups. And don’t forget to pot a few corms to force into early bloom in your home over winter. It’s a way to preview your treasure trove weeks before the corms bloom outdoors, just about the time the snow melts. Use: border, natural, rckgdn, forcing.
