True blue flowers are like gold dust in the garden - especially ones that bloom in partial shade, and for as long a period as ‘Blue Heron’! That’s why this Corydalis is such a treasure.
These hardy perennials give you rich, sapphire-blue blooms in the shadier spots of your garden, and it keeps going for months.
Starting in April, it kicks into flower with elegant, scented, trumpet-shaped blooms in blue with upright red stems. They just keep on coming right through to early autumn. You might expect a plant with that much flair to be fussy – but it’s anything but. It’s hardy, compact and low maintenance, thriving year after year with very little effort.
It grows brilliantly in part shade – ideal for the front of borders, under deciduous trees, or in containers tucked near the house. The finely divided, soft green-blue foliage is evergreen too, keeping the garden looking fresh when many perennials disappear completely.
The colour is genuinely something to see. Not many plants manage a true blue, but ‘Blue Heron’ absolutely does, and against that foliage, it really sings. It’s also a great one for pollinators, with bees often seen visiting those tubular blooms on warmer days.
Supplied as a set of three jumbo plug plants, ready to grow on and plant out.
Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
