Corydalis solida 'Merlin', Fumewort

'Merlin' does as the name suggests and adds a bit of magic to your garden. The perennial tuber blooms heavily in early spring with white tubular flowers edged in violet. The flowers hover in bursts over whimsical, blue-green, fernlike foliage, reminiscent of bleeding hearts.  Mature size: 10 in T x 12 in W Minimum Temperature: -20º F C. solida (bulbous forms) must ship before foliage develops.  Choose a shipping date between June 1 and February 1. The foliage of this plant is too delicate to ship while actively growing.  NOTE: These are SUMMER DORMANT plants; they dry up and go "to sleep" after they bloom in spring. Do not be alarmed when they disappear with the onset of warm weather days--given proper conditions, they will be back the next spring, bigger and better than before.
