pink corydalis
Quick Summary
Pink corydalis, also known as pale corydalis or Roman wormwood (Corydalis sempervirens), is an annual flowering plant native to northeastern North America. It typically grows to about 60 cm (24 inches) tall and features loose panicles of pink flowers with yellow tips.12
The genus Corydalis includes over 400 species of herbaceous flowering plants in the poppy family, found throughout north temperate areas and parts of eastern Africa, with a high diversity concentrated in the Sino-Himalayan region. Many Corydalis species are cultivated as garden ornamentals, and some Asian species have traditional medicinal uses, though clinical studies are lacking. These plants can be annuals or perennials, often featuring underground tubers or rhizomes and lobed or finely dissected leaves.1
