A cross between Corydalis fleuosa and Corydalis omeniana from Ian Young's garden in Aberdeen.

Corydalis ‘Tory MP’

£6.50

Potsize - 1L
Corydalis 'Tory MP'. This certainly has some Corydalis elata blood in it. The habit is fairly upright with the flowers being held high on tall stems and can come a month later than varieties such as Corydalis flexuosa 'Pere David'. They are a rich blue in colour. I did wonder if this earned its name on account of it being true blue and upstanding, then I read that it came from being true blue and going on and on! - but then again perhaps it owes something to its habit of disappearing from sight over the Summer ! - I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions. Early Spring. 45*30cm. For moisture retentive soil in shade or half shade.

Dicentra spectabilis (Lamprocapnos)

£6.50

RHS AGM

Potsize - 1L
The beautiful Bleeding Heart or Lady-in-the-Bath. Fresh green ferny foliage above which arch stems dripping pink & white flowers like dewdrops. A picture of poise and grace. 3ft in a nice moist soil. The fleshy roots are delving and brittle so its best not disturbed and best sited in a sheltered situation in sun or partial shade with plenty of humus. In hot situations where water might go short at the roots, the plant will take a period of Summer dormancy but will re-emerge the following Spring. Mulching helps to extend the flowering season. Great cut flower and surprisingly scented. Deer and Rabbit resistant, possibly on account of its yellow sap. You know a plant has been loved for years when it has numerous names. For this one try Bleeding Hearts or Ladies-in-the-Bath, Ladies-in-a-boat or Dutchman's Breeches or even Lady's Locket and Lyre Flower. The ladies-in-the-bath/boat reference is only apparent if you take an open flower, turn it upside down and pull the outer petals apart, then it becomes obvious.
