Notes
'Beth Evans' fumewort (Corydalis solida 'Beth Evans') is a perennial for borders and containers, and it needs little care. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Pink flowers open from early to late spring. It goes dormant by summer, so plant it around late emerging perennials such as hosta.
Pairs well with Fringed bleeding heart, Lenten rose, and Wild hyacinth.
