Corydalis Porcelain Blue 180MM
Corydalis ‘Porcelain Blue’ – 180MM
I am Corydalis ‘Porcelain Blue’. My family originated from China
| I feature incredibly intense aqua-blue, lightly fragrant flowers which are set against blue green deeply divided foliage.
I flower from autumn through to spring. My flowers are a magnet for bees and other beneficial garden insects. I naturally develop into a rounded mound that looks elegant year round. Hardy I am a good choice for shady locations and to brighten darker corners. I make a great potted specimen and my flowers can be cut to be enjoyed indoors. |
