These are herbaceous plants, tall and short, that have fleshy roots, quickly spreading to give good clumps of flowering stems. To multiply the plants, lift the roots every few years and simply mix them with more compost and spread them around – there is no need to plant individual pieces. The flowers are the usual characteristics shape, in many varieties in shades of blue.

Corydalis curviflora has many quite large flowers along the stem, in most forms pale to mid blue, but occasionally violet, most attractive seen above the glaucous, grey-green foliage. It likes cool, damp places.
