CORYDALIS A huge genus of with over 300 species that most taxonomists place in the Papaveraceae, some are bulbous, some are creeping woodlanders; the flower colors are intense, in virtually every visible wavelength and a few that only the Bumblebees can see. Most are easy to the point of being weedy, (they have explosively dehiscent seed that is intolerant of dry storage) although there are legendary rarities like Corydalis cashmiriana that border on the un-growable. The following offer offers but a glimpse of the wealth they have to offer.

Corydalis paczoskii

Seed grown from Mojmir’s 2000 collections, these may flower for the first time this spring. This is a fantastic Corydalis and rarely available. Dry stored seed seldom germinates and when it does, they take forever to grow to any size.

Corydalis stenantha

Corydalis stenantha

A new species out of China, it runs underground but is quite different from the flexuosa types, flowers are purple and outstanding; plants are large and vigorous and appear to be permanent in the garden. The name seems somewhat questionable but this is what we got it as and for now at least we can offer nothing better.____ZONE 6

Cotyledon orbiculare

Cotyledon orbiculare

Spectacular looking with big gray fleshy round leaves with a reddish edge and brilliant orange red flowers on meter high plants. Halda collected this up high in the Drakensburg back in the mid 90’s, it probably is the most cold hardy form in cultivation although it melted outside for Dick and Tony; it may be great out west. In terms of floral display and foliage effect, no other succulent we grow even comes close.____ZONE 6
