Corydalis Leontocoides The glory of the snow melt and excellent plants for a pot in the alpine house. It is not easy to obtain stock of this group since the tubers rarely divide and are self-sterile so hand pollination from at least two clones is necessary to get seed and seed collection is difficult. I offer 3 -4 year old seedlings which are not huge but should flower next year. Corydalis seisumsiana This seems to fit the description of this but Magnus Liden feels that it is just a nice form of the widespread C verticillaris. Beautiful white, pink-lipped, flowers on a delightful dwarf plant from the snow melts of the Elburz. £8.00 Corydalis seisumsiana Iran, Mazandaran, S of Kalardasht.

We have been propagating some of our recently so I now have a few spares and quite a lot of seed following their excellent flowering this spring.
