With soft lacy fern-textured blue green semisucculent foliage, this colonizing/self sowing ground cover is a welcome addition to the shade garden. Here it fits nicely with native wildflowers, bulbs, ferns, and shade loving perennials-always complementary and never overpowering. And corydalis is good for more than just foliage. Flowering nonstop all summer with a succession of soft sulfur yellow, dainty, spurred flowers (much like fringed bleeding heart, Dicentra eximia), corydalis is a bloomer extraordinare. Nice in combination with large blue leaved hostas, it also complements most ferns, purple leaved heucheras, Helleborus, and Liriope 'Big Blue'.
