Corydalis lutea Tulips small farmersThis wonderful soft looking perennial has such a long flowering season! Its lovely ferny like fresh green foliage forms a mound above which sit masses of yellow spurred blooms which flower from early spring, well into autumn. Such a great value plant in the cottage garden, at the front of borders, even in pots. They love a shady or part shady spot in moist soils too. Growing 45 cm tall and wide, they'll self seed if you make them happy enough!
