Herman, Leena answered very well your question.
I only want to add that my C. buschii doesn't produce seeds (it may be self incompatible). Same goes for C. nobilis, which would look magnificent with your Trilliums - as long as I had only 1 plant, there were never any seeds.
So, besides hybrid forms, you can also think about these who would need a partner in order to invade you with baby seedlings :)
Rick R.:
I have to add that there must be some variability with Corydalis nobilis self incompatibility. My single plant does produce viable seed. But while C. solida can be a bit invasive by seed, I've never had a problem with C. nobilis, and for me it seeds around just nicely. FYI, I did grow the nobilis seeds in a pot one year, and I think every seed germinated.
Herman Mylemans:
Gabriela and Rick, thank you for your information. I think I will find them in the Netherlands. So there is something to look forward. :)
Leena:
Also here C.bushii does not set seeds, or at least I have never found them.
I agree that C.nobilis is not invasive, and it is very easy to remove if it grows in a wrong place.
Herman, if you want it, I can send you some roots when they start to go dormant in late June.

I will not contradict you Rick; there is so much variability in the plant world! Yes, the seeds sowed at the right moment germinate like cress.
Too bad I cannot send my 'sterile' plant to Herman! :)
Herman: for sure they are available in Belgium, or take up Leena's offer. Maybe you purchase by chance a C. buschii that set seeds and give some to us! At some point I looked to purchase another plant for cross pollination but couldn't find any.
