| Plant Type | Perennial plant | |
| Estimated Plant Lifespan | 5 years lifespan | |
| Toxic to humans | Toxic to humans | |
| Toxicity | Toxic to: Dogs, Cats, Livestock | |
| Sun Requirements | 2-4 hours direct sunlight (Partial Shade) | |
| Pollination | Method: Animal Notes: Pollinated by bees and other insects. Can be manually pollinated to increase seed production, although not commonly done. | |
| Watering Requirements | Method: Water at the base of the plant Frequency: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Notes: Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Corydalis prefers consistently moist but not waterlogged soil. | |
| Humidity Requirements | Level: Moderate Maintenance: No special methods are typically needed. Adequate air circulation is important, especially in humid environments. | |
| Temperature Range | Min: -15°C Max: 25°C |
Yellow archangel is an aggressive spreader and can quickly outcompete Corydalis cava for resources, potentially smothering it.
These pests can feed on the foliage, causing ragged holes in the leaves. Slugs are especially prevalent in damp conditions.
Steps:
- Division: Divide established clumps in late summer or early fall after the foliage has died back.
- Gently dig up the tuberous roots.
- Carefully separate the tubers, ensuring each division has some roots and buds.
- Replant the divisions in the desired location.
- Seed: Collect seeds from mature seed pods.
- Sow seeds in the fall, either directly into the garden or in seed trays.
- Keep the soil consistently moist until germination.
Slug and Snail Bait
To control slug and snail populations, protecting the foliage.
Mycorrhizal Fungi Inoculant
To improve nutrient uptake and overall plant health, especially if the soil is not already rich in mycorrhizae.
