Product description
Corydalis China Blue brings a cool, calming lift to the garden, with soft powder blue flowers rising above finely cut, fern like foliage. Its gentle colouring and relaxed habit make it perfect for brightening partially shaded borders, weaving naturally among other woodland favourites and adding a touch of quiet elegance from spring into early summer.
This dependable Fumewort thrives in partial shade and humus rich, well drained soil, settling in happily with very little fuss. A light mulch helps keep the roots cool, while removing spent blooms keeps the plant looking fresh and encourages a longer display. Trim back older foliage as new growth appears, and enjoy how effortlessly it softens edges, fills quiet corners, and brings a refreshing sense of calm to sheltered garden spaces.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Let Fumewort rest after flowering by allowing the foliage to fade back naturally once the display is over. This quiet retreat lets the plant refuel and store energy, setting it up for a strong return the following spring.
How to Water
Water Fumewort regularly during its first season, keeping the soil lightly moist while it establishes. Once settled, it only needs occasional watering in dry spells, as its cool, shaded position helps the soil retain moisture naturally.
How to Plant
Choose a partially shaded spot with humus‑rich, well‑drained soil, and set Fumewort at the same depth it was growing in the pot. Firm the soil gently around the roots, then water well to help it settle and start establishing.
