CORYDALIS (Fumariaceae)
Fumewort |
|
|
We,
like many other plantaholics, have fallen under the spell of these
perky little denizens of forest and mountain. What gardener with a
heart and soul could resist
their spring flowers, whose winged petals with upswept spurs suggest
a flight of elfin butterflies? Or, for that matter, their lacily
divided leaves, which come in a kaleidoscope of colors from gray to
deep green? As a tribe
that hails from diverse habitats across much of the northern
hemisphere, Corydalis includes at least a few species for any
garden, whatever its circumstances. Gardeners with shade and summer
rain can select from the bounty of species that inhabit the woodlands
of Europe, east Asia, and North America. Conversely, those who garden
in rocky or sandy soil or in dry-summer areas can explore the diversity
of the Mediterranean and central Asian species. Not that you have to
restrict yourself to species from similar climes. Indeed, as long as
they are buffered from summer heat and drought (the woodlanders) or
from excess summer moisture (the Mediterranean and steppe natives),
most
corydalis will succeed in climates that depart from that of their home
range (some corydaphiles even dig the tubers in summer to keep them
sufficiently dry). For all these reasons and more, Corydalis should be a
staple of any
bulb garden (or bulb frame). |

| Corydalis angustifolia
~ This charming woodlander bears numerous creamy-white, purple-"nosed"
flowers on 4-inch stems clad with airy, deeply cleft, grass-green
leaves. Self-fertile, it will increase by self-sowing, but not
invasively (except in pots). Because its range includes central Asian
steppe, it will need more light and a drier summer "rest" than do most
other woodland species. Modified continental/steppe; Caucasus to N
Iran. Zone 4. Enter quantity:

| Corydalis angustifolia 'Thalysh Dawn'
~ A Ruksans selection of this charming woodlander, bearing pink-suffused, purple-snouted
flowers on 4-inch stems clad with airy, deeply cleft, grass-green
leaves. Self-fertile, it will increase by self-sowing, but not
invasively (except in pots). Because it is from central Asian
steppe, it will need more light and a drier summer "rest" than do most

| Corydalis buschii
~ Corydalis are like Vivaldi concertos: just when you think
you've discovered them all, a few more turn up somewhere. This recent
introduction is valuable not only for its bright red-purple flowers on
6-inch stems, but also for its time of bloom late May. It
flourishes in partial shade and non-alkaline soil, spreading by stolons
to form colonies. Modified continental; E Russia to N Korea. Zone 4.

| Corydalis fumariifolia
~ Here is a lead member of the Corydalis Caerulean Chorus (as all corydaphiles know, this is one genus that REALLY knows how to sing the blues). In temperament, however, it's far from a diva -- it won't throw (or provoke) apoplectic fits as long as it gets some shade and adequate moisture. These are seedlings, so expect some variation in color, from pale sky-blue to deep violet-blue. As always, it's in high demand and short suppy. Modified continental; NE Asia. Zone 5.

introduced species – with airy, many-flowered clusters of slender,
long-spurred, white, chocolate-dipped flowers in early April on 6-inch
stems
– is high on every corydaphile's wishlist. Quite adaptable, it
prefers full to partial sun and humus-rich, sharply drained soil.

The flowers resemble those of C. nudicaulis, but with the chocolate coloration confined to their tips, giving them a rather endearing "button nose" look.

Corydalis schanginii

offering this "gem of the genus" (Lidén & Zetterlund), but
that is our job, after all. The long (up to 1.5-inch), slender flowers
have clear golden-yellow, purple-tipped "snouts" and twisting, pale
pink or white spurs – an arresting color scheme. Completing the picture
are the purple stems and fleshy gray leaves. A masterpiece. Given sharp
drainage and ample light, it should succeed outdoors in most
cold-winter areas of the U.S. Steppe; Kazakhstan. Zone 4.

schanginii ssp. ainae, here it is. Swarms of
enormous (by corydaline standards) flowers of soft rose-pink (with
contrasting purple veins and tips) crowd long racemes above a
complement of fleshy gray leaves. Although it demands perfect drainage
