I always enjoy seeing this plant each later April, with its very bright yellow flowers.

New perennials for 2017
Comments (12)Mmm, new salvias for me too (from Robin Smith) - spathacea, stolonifera, forskaoli, purple leaf macrophylla, involucrata 'Boutin', Penny's Smile and Christine Yeo - a greggii/chamaedryoides hybrid I had and mistakenly gave away before propagating. Fast from seed...plus a freebie yellow (name escapes me but not glutinosa, which lurks in the woods). Salvia is a cyclical craze for me...and I am currently going through an 'on' phase. To be entirely honest, the bulleyana looks more 'interesting' than totally desirable. I grew yellow and purple salpiglossis one year (shudder) and swore not to go down that colour route again. Then again, I have said this about many plants - some of which went on to become beloved....See MoreI do like this early bloomer Corydalis Noblis
Comments (5)For a somewhat similar plant with a long season of bloom, I've grown Corydalis lutea (Pseudofumaria lutea). It's sometimes described as a short-lived perennial, but reseeds freely and is ubiquitous in England. I grew it only as an annual, although I think it forms small tubers that could potentially be lifted and stored, too. It requires shade and moisture, and also good drainage - in the UK I've seen it growing in chinks in walls. When I grew it I bought seed from Thompson & Morgan, who no longer ship to the U.S., but Chiltern Seeds and some others in the UK have it, too.

Comments (0)More and more I like these plants that go completely dormant ie disappear completely. I find them...intriguing. Corydalis Noblis is an example of a larger perennial that will go fully dormant. (I was hoping to wait till the flowers were larger but the stand was zapped by a heavy frost last night :( )...See MoreThe mid spring lull
Comments (26)Walking around my garden this morning reminded me that I should mention Dicentra 'Gold Heart'. Katob, I know you mentioned bleeding heart above, but I just wanted to emphasize that 'Gold Heart' is just glowing and stealing the show. it began to bloom just barely before the tiarellas, anemones, and Iberis. it would be stunning with all the blues you have. This plant is one which i am hoping to divide and increase. It really glows in my garden this time of year. Our spring is always much later than everybody elses because of our latitude and the ocean. I watch on these threads as everybody's gardens bloom while my earliest perennials are barely emerging. But Dicentra 'Gold Heart' is like turning on sunshine in my shade while most other things are waking up. It seems happiest in areas where it is getting more sun now because my trees are not leafed out. Not as happy in denser shade where things like conifers or general tree density block more early spring sun....See More
