Corydalis malkensis is a species of flowering plant in the poppy family Papaveraceae, native to the Caucasus. Growing to 15 cm (5.9 in) high and broad, it is a tuberous herbaceous perennial, with glaucous green leaves and clusters of tubular white flowers in spring. It is a spring ephemeral whose foliage dies down in the summer.[1]
Suitable for cultivation in a rock garden or alpine house, it requires sharp drainage in a sunny or partially shaded location which is dry in summer and damp in the winter. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[2]
