Corydalis
The closest relatives of this striking genus are the bleeding hearts. The Greek name, meaning “crested lark,” alludes to the graceful, birdlike appearance of the flowers, which grow in racemes among ferny foliage. Corydalis ‘Blackberry Wine’

These blooms really are the color of blackberry wine, and set against the fernlike, blue-green leaves, give a heady liveliness to the garden, especially when contrasted with the golden blades of Hakonechloa ‘All Gold’.
Blooms May–November. Size: 10" high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 5. AVAILABLE MID-APRIL 2008 Corydalis Blackberry Wine (P-0923)
