Due to a cancelled order I have a few of these beauties for sale. All fully hardy. They were introduced last year as brand new hybrids from a specialist East European grower and I am the only UK supplier. They aren't cheap I'm afraid but oh boy are they lovely, however I am offering them at a reduced price which includes P&P - £10 each. Normal price £15 each plus P & P And for any of you LOTR fans they are named in honour of it. Corydalis solida 'Bilbo' Very wide, deep blueish lilac edges to the white petals, and the end of the spur is slightly lilac tinted. Corydalis solida 'Gandalf' White flowers with a narrow blue rim at the end of the petals and a dark ‘tongue’, dense racemes, and dark green foliage. Corydalis solida 'Lord of Moria' Flowers deep lilac pink, with an almost white ‘tongue’, surrounded by a lighter pink zone. Corydalis solida 'Snowstorm' Bright milky white flowers in very compact dense spikes, held above lettuce green glossy leaves. Early flowering.

Hi Karen - you have mail - and I meant Frodo, not Bilbo, getting my hobbits confused ;D

Hi Dee
I keep losing Corydalis - have lost three in the past five years - all, I think, China Blue... If you can convince me that I will be able to keep one alive, I'll bite...

Where are you planting them Margi, what aspect and what's your soil like?

Sorry Dee! I do still get lost on here, and not find things I need to go back to...
Have tried full damp shade (in the fernery) and well-drained part shade, in various locations around the garden. What am I doing wrong?

They prefer a leafy soil that never dries out fully, but not a constanty damp soil. I think you may have tried the two extremes.

Hi Dee! I've had Margi's problem too. This year my flexuosa started emerging and looked healthy, was hit by a late frost, managed a few more leaves and then disappeared completely. It had flowered the year before. What do you mean by a leafy soil? I've got piles of leaf mold, should I give it a good mulch of that or/and dig some in?

Just give them a good mulch in autumn and the worms will do all the hard work for you
