Name that Plant - Please
There is a plant I grew from an un-named packet from the HPS and I'd
really like to know what it is. It has beautiful foliage - almost lacy, and delicate. Its pale green and obviously very hardy. It is not deciduous and has looked nice all winter but has just started putting on spurt. Its flowers which appear in Spring are insignificant, like a small yellow/grey pod but not bright yellow. It seeds itself all over the place. Any ideas please? |

Might is be Corydalis? http://www.bbc.co.uk/oxford/walk_thr...op_up_15.shtml Jenny |

Can you tell us how big it is and where you live? Your remark that it's not deciduous leads me to think you're talking of a shrub. In which case, could it be Coronilla? -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk I am in the North West. I can't imagine it being described as a shrub, more a herbaceous perennial except that it does not die down in winter. The leaves are quite lovely, delicate with lacily cut shape. The flower really is incidental and very small. In one brick built trough where there is a slow growing conifer in the middle it is growing like mad in the soil at the side, maybe because there is a lot of good home made compost in there.

There are about eight of those on the MAVICA plant images site (its great for looking up plants). The Corydalis flower is much larger - rather lovely. See the message above. The flower really is inconspicuous. |

I have not really cut the stems as, when they are somewhere I don't want them to be, I just yank them out. The flower, which should not really be called that as it is so small, is just like a little pod, a dirty yellow with a grey blob on one side. Not to worry, I like the plant so it can stay. It has such attractive foliage. |

Helleborus viridus ? -- Eyebright No, just had a look on the Mavica images site but there was none of that name just one called Helleborus lividus and its definitely not that. Thank you anyway.
