Pale Corydalis is a biennial which is wide ranging from Newfoundland west to British Columbia and south to Georgia and the mountains of the southeast where it grows on rocky outcrops and in dry, gravelly woods. Related to wild Bleeding Heart, Dutchman's Britches, and Squirrel Corn, it has similar glaucous blue green finely divided foliage and small dangling heart-shaped pink with yellow tipped flowers from mid-spring to early summer. It forms delicate sprawling clumps under 20 inches high. While not long-lived, Corydalis will find where it is happy and maintain itself by self-sowing. It will tolerate thin rocky soil and full sun in the north but would need some shade in the south. Richer soil would encourage more robust plants. Let this naturalize in an area with Columbine, Alumroot, Stonecrop, Beardtongue, and Lyre-Leaved Sage. Cat# 1337
