Corydalis flexuosa 'Royal Purple' has red-marked leaves and sky blue and light purple, fragrant flowers.

This Corydalis flexuosa comes to us with the name ‘Royal Purple’ but this name doesn’t seem to exist in horticulture. It could be ‘Purple Leaf’. Whatever the name, this is a beautiful plant with red-marked leaves and sky blue and light purple, fragrant flowers. 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.
