How to care for Corydalis flexuosa China Blue:
Cut back stems to near ground level during November, earlier if self-seeding is a problem. Lift and divide congested colonies in the autumn.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
