I have 15 Salvia Lyrata 'Purple Knockout' seeds left after planting and trading. These are seeds that I bought from J.L. Hudson and the ones I planted are sprouting (I planted them indoors, obviously). If you are interested in these, let me know. My e-mail is ramazz@cox.net. I am a new wintersower and have mostly been lurking and learning. :-) Becky

I bought a plant of corydalis lutea several years ago and it has self-seeded all around. It is very colourful and extremely long-blooming, growing in shade, part sun and even dry soil. It is not easy to transplant unless one digs up very small plants without disturbing the rootball. See link below. It is native to the southern Alps in Europe, but naturalized in N. America. Your local nurseries or hort. club sales may have plants, as it is becoming quite common, if you can't find seeds. Here is a link that might be useful: corydalis lutea

Hi. I am looking for Corydalis Sempervens (sp?) seeds. Not fussy on the color. I know of 2 kinds - blue and one that is pink/yellow. I have seeds to trade for although I haven't updated my page lately so if you have the seeds let me know and I can check out what your page is and hopefully i have something to trade for.

GGG BTW, in addition to C. cheilanthifolia and C. lutea, I also grow Corydalis bulbosa(Synonym: C. solida), a pretty blue/purple flowered bulbous member. It is Spring blooming and then goes dormant until the following Spring and is very slow to increase in size. Have grown several other species and cultivars, but they were short lived, i.e., C. elata, flexuosa(Blue Panda, China Blue), ochroleuca, nobilis, flavula(a native annual with a very limited GA distribution) and an unknown blue-flowering species from the Himalaya's. There are a number of native species, but most aren't available in the nursery trade, however, you may find a seed source if you want to try some of them. Rb
