How To Grow

Excellent pest and disease resistance

Generally disease free, but watch out for slugs, especially when the plant is young

Water well

This is one thirsty plant! It should be fine with rainwater through autumn and winter, but make sure it doesn't dry out in warmer weather and water it regularly

Partial shade

Plant Corydalis in a shaded area with a little filtered sunlight (eg: under trees) for the best results

Any fertile, well-drained soil

Plant in any fertile, well-drained soil. If your soil is particularly poor or clay heavy, dig in some garden compost with perlite to improve drainage.

Feeding not required

This is a low maintenance plant which gets all the nutrients it needs from the soil.
