Corydalis Solida
M5241
Description
Dainty beauty, Corydalis ‘Solida’ brings colour to the darkest corners with light-mallow purple flowers, held on fleshy pink stems up to 20cm tall. Deeply cut, ferny foliage provides a lush green backdrop for the intriguing, tubular blooms to shine against when they flower during March and April.
Corydalis ‘Solida’ has been granted a prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the RHS for its exceptional garden qualities; it is an invaluable plant for providing interesting, colourful groundcover in tricky spaces.
Suitable for rockeries, shady woodland borders and pathways where these rewarding gems will flourish and naturalise happily.
Care Guide
These do not like rich soil or full sun. Leave them to naturalise and provide a semi-wild area of pastel colour in spring.
Plant 7.5cm (3”) deep, 10cm (4”) apart. Can be left undisturbed for many years.
