    Hi Woo,Your Corydalis Lutea is classed as a wild flower and likes growing out of walls and between rocks.

    It is a member of the Fumariaceae family.It grows to a height of 12"{30cm} with stalks which bear up to 10 yellow trumpet shaped florets.The leaves are feathery with three lobes...

    It flowers from May-September and originated in Southern Europe,though it now grows wild in England and Wales..

    It will thrive in shade or part shade...

    Hope this information helps.Good Luck [​IMG]
