Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Similar to C. Blue Panda except its flowers are more turquoise -blue. Such a tonic color in the shade garden, and essential for those who have to have as much blue as possible.
Perhaps the most vigorous of the flexuosa, this graceful Corydalis spreads by underground stems, forming good-sized colonies of neat, low-mounding foliage adorned with bright blue flowers on willowy stems.
