| I really do like my many Corydalis 'Lutea'. In the right location they are a very worthwhile plant.
Earlier this summer I picked up one Corydalis 'Canary Feathers'. There is much to like about this Corydalis as well. But most of what I have read seems to indicate that it is difficult to get it to survive a zone 5 winter. Has anyone had perennial success with this plant? |

| 'many Corydalis 'Lutea'. Ha ha - I bet there are - it took me years to root it out of a couple of customers gardens. Know nothing about yours although I have never had any luck keeping C.flexuosa 'Pere David' or any of the other blues. C.ochraleuca is a bit more refined (but equally liable to seed around. |

| campanula, it is 'Canary Feathers' (yellow flower) I am interested in saving. And from what I understand this particular Corydalis is *not* a spreader. (I have a couple Corydalis 'Wildside' as my blue Corydalis. I was hoping that it wouldnt go dormant this summer but it did. It is only now when things have cooled off and we have got more rain that it is looking perkier and likely to bloom again.) |

| I hope you can see a couple of maybe 3 of my 'Lutea' against the fence on the right side in our corner garden. They provide eye catching colour in a very shady area of this garden and seem to look good when wedged in next to other plants eg columbine and heuchera and hosta. |
