Faits intéressants
Pink Corydalis grows in rocky landscapes and areas disturbed by fire. It has distinctive pink tubular flowers with yellow tips and blue-green fernlike foliage. The name derives from the Latin ‘semper’ meaning always and ‘virens’ meaning green. It prefers cooler temperatures and dry but well-drained soils. For home gardens, it is well suited for dry areas in the garden.
