Celandine Poppy
Celandine Poppy is a woodland plant with yellow/orange flowers rising to 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide. The flowers are not the only draw, the leaves are very attractive as well. They will self sow and given the room will give you a sea of yellow/orange, quite spectacular. You will want to duplicate the soil of a forested area. Lots of composted organic material, moist and well drained humus rich soil. This shade garden plant grows well under shrubs, mixed in with hosta and ferns, very striking. It should be noted if the soil dries out for an extended period of time or it gets too hot the plant will shut down, go dormant, until conditions improve.Propagation in Spring if you wish, but perhaps letting them self sow is the way to go. They will look good in a rock garden, try it. So if you like yellow/orange shade flowers in your shade garden, you'll be happy with this one. Rich, humus soil, moist and in the shade, will provide you with a spectacular display of color and enjoyment.
