Corydalis flexuosa ‘Purple Leaf’

Bronze-green foliage with red highlights and stems and large blue to purple-blue flowers.

The soft bronze-green feather-like leaves are accented by red stems and the large, blue to purple-blue flowers carried in clusters above the foliage. This long bloomer makes a great highlight in shady spots. Combines well with blue or gold hostas and hellebores. Use in the woodland garden under shrubs or in a part shade container.
