If the idea of volunteer plants coming up in your flowerbeds bothers you, then move along and enjoy your day! 🙂
There’s one yellow corydalis plant in the photo below at the top. The rest of those little leaves represent scores of new plants that self-seeded. I was tickled pink when I saw them on the east side of our house.
I planted a couple of yellow corydalis plants there among the ferns and hostas a couple of summers ago hoping they’d naturalize, but this is the first year I’ve seen any volunteers appear. The plants prefer moist conditions, so perhaps our drought over the last 2 years had something to do with it.
I love yellow corydalis plants because they can grow in full sun or full shade, and they bloom for most of the summer.
Those little flowers are bright and fragrant,
Yellow corydalis is hardy in Zones 3-8.
