Description

Corydalis cava is a choice perennial bulb producing elegant, tubular flowers in soft purple to lilac tones during early spring. Ideal for woodland schemes, shaded parks, and naturalistic borders, this species establishes well in moist, humus-rich soils under deciduous tree cover. Its deeply cut foliage emerges with the first warmth of spring and disappears by early summer, making it ideal for layering beneath later-growing perennials or groundcovers.

This tuberous-rooted plant is an excellent naturaliser, forming colonies over time, and is particularly suited to low-maintenance biodiversity-friendly planting.  Mix with snowdrops, anemones and early daffodils for an interesting early spring display.
