Pseudofumaria lutea (Yellow Corydalis) [15 Seeds]

Germination Information: I recommend these seeds for experienced seed-starters only, because they may take a good bit of patience. For a plant that self-sows so easily, it can be challenging to get it going from seed. I suggest surface-sowing as soon as you get the seeds and leaving the pot outdoors to germinate when conditions are right. Apparently the seeds need alternating warm-moist and cool-moist periods, which are easy to provide naturally by sowing in mid- to late summer and leaving them outdoors through the winter. If you outdoor-sow in fall or winter, the seedlings might not appear until next fall or the following spring. (You could try to speed things along by sowing indoors from fall to early winter, keeping the seeds warm and moist for about 2 months, and then moving the pot outdoors to provide the chilling period.)

I’ll also note that plants I start from seed and then transplant tend to stay small and somewhat scrawny—nowhere near as lush as plants that come up on their own in spots where they are happy. (They absolutely LOVE growing in gravel, it seems.) So, don’t be disappointed in the seedlings you end up with; just be patient and you will eventually get to see what this plant can really do.

Note that this information will not appear on the seed packet you receive.
