Yellow corydalis is a cheerful, shade-tolerant perennial that produces bright yellow flowers almost continuously from spring through autumn. It thrives in partial shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil and is well-suited to wall crevices, rock gardens, or shaded borders. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage prolonged blooming, and note that all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested.
