    This is the one Meconopsis that is super EASY to grow & reliably perennial (it’s tap rooted). Long blooming from mid-Spring thru Fall, 2-3” silky, lemon yellow flowers are borne in abundance on branched stems. Native to the British Isles, “Welsh Poppy” loves shade or part shade. Lots of elegance & poise. To 18” x 18”. Self sows!

    Such a valuable addition to the woodland garden and even areas of drier shade. Lively, ruffle yellow blooms on 1 foot stems. Self sows.
