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.

Keenly selected on a collecting trip to Sichuan, China by Dan Hinkley, ‘Blue Heron’ heralds the largest, darkest richly blue blooms of all our offerings. fine cut blue-green foliage graced with a gossamer-like delicacy showcases these fragrant sapphire-blue flowers. The refreshing cool colors command our attention amid fellow shade dweller Epimedium ‘Frohnleiten’.
