Corydalis Solida Purple Bird

Category: Corydalis

Corydalis solida ‘Purple Bird’ is a rich and eye-catching early spring perennial, valued for its deep violet-purple flowers and finely divided, fern-like foliage. One of the first plants to emerge after winter, it brings strong colour and freshness to shaded areas of the garden when little else is in bloom.. Flowering from March to April, ‘Purple Bird’ forms neat, compact clumps topped with clusters of intense purple blooms that stand out beautifully against the soft green leaves. It is especially well suited to woodland gardens, shady borders, rock gardens, and planting beneath trees and shrubs. After flowering, the foliage naturally dies back, making it an excellent companion for later-growing perennials and bulbs..
