This lovely & long blooming perennial poppy, is also extremely useful as it grows in shade, EVEN DRY SHADE! Producing a long succession (late Spring thru Summer) of bright yellow four-petaled flowers, it’s super easy to grow, heat tolerant & even tolerates clay. Beautiful soft leaves form very attractive mounds to 18” tall & wide. The silver-haired, stiffly upright seed capsules are very interesting, too. This is a good plant for that dry shade corner you never feel like watering! Reseeds!
