Description
After years of selecting beautiful seedlings of C. solida, Mr. Huisman developed a series of Bird-in-a-bush with bird names. This find is deep purple. Another selection appears to have been registered recently under this name, therefore it is likely that the name will be changed. (B)
BELONGS TO THE FAMILY OF PAPAVERACEAE, FUMARIOIDEAE
According to an ancient Greek dictionary, korys or korythos means: head covering, helmet, or hood. The Latin korydalis (crowned lark) is likely derived from this. The spurs of the flowers bear a resemblance to the crest of a lark.
The genus Corydalis comprises hundreds of beautiful species and the cultivars derived from them. All species, which are particularly suitable for planting under shrubs and trees, prefer a (partially) shaded spot.
