Corydalis (Fumewort)

Fumeworts are early spring flowering bulbs, usually growing in woods, where they receive plenty of sun in spring before they go dormant in early May already. They are excellent to naturalize under trees and shrubs in partially shaded places in any soil. Will bear more and more flowers every year.
Sow flat autumn to late spring in any well drained, rocky or sandy soil. Keep pots in a sheltered and sunny spot in winter. Transplant tiny bulbs in fall in their first year. Most Corydalis will flower in their second to third year.
All are USDA Climate Zone 6 unless otherwise specified.
