Corydalis solida ‘Beth Evans’ (Fumewort) is a tuberous herbaceous perennial with showy spikes of up to 20 pale coral pink to deeper pink, tubular flowers, adorned with a white flash on the spur. Blooming profusely in mid to late spring, they sit proudly above the handsome, fern-like foliage of blue-green, divided leaves. A charming little plant that is ridiculously easy to grow and is perfect for borders, rockeries or woodland areas.

  • Grows in clumps, only 6-10 in. tall and wide (15-25 cm). This plant is dormant in the summer, so there will be no more foliage or flowers.
  • Best in full sun or part shade, in moderately fertile, medium to wet, well-drained soils.
  • Virtually disease free. Watch for snails.
  • A great perennial plant for beds and borders, cottage gardens, rock gardens or containers
  • Propagate by division in the fall.
