Beautiful bright-blue fragrant flowers in spring perch atop dainty stems that hold them just above the green-blue fern-like 10" x 10" mounds, does best in cool summer areas and will do summer dormant without adequate moisture (don't worry they will come back and bloom again in autumn!) PSh/M

Numerous lovely, fragrant, sky blue flowers top the delicate, dissected foliage in spring. The clumps will expand gradually. Plant with hellebores to great effect. This species will go dormant in midsummer if the soil dries out.

Long after other Corydalis have gone dormant for the summer, 'Blue Panda' will brighten your garden with vibrant, electric blue blooms above a tidy mound of filigree textured foliage. Tuck it under the upright, vigorous stems of Euphorbia x robbiae and the white flowering Viburnum 'Chiquita' for a striking vignette.
