Corydalis ochroleuca
Corydalis ochroleuca is smothered in fragrant, creamy white, tubular flowers with yellow at the centres for months.
Corydalis ochroleuca is a useful little perennial that is smothered in fragrant, creamy white, tubular flowers with yellow at the centres for a long period from spring into summer and even into fall atop beautiful filigree foliage in a rounded mound. May be short lived but reappears in the spring from self-sown seedlings that are easily controlled. Where happy it can form an attractive ground cover or fill in the spaces between other perennials to create a closed cover. Attracts butterflies. Deer resistant.
