Wood Poppy has bright yellow, poppy-like flowers appearing in spring. It has attractive blue-green foliage and can continue flowering intermittently into summer when conditions are favourable. It grows naturally in rich, deciduous forests and moist woodland slopes. Allow it to spread naturally where space permits. It goes dormant during dry conditions or later in summer. It benefits from leaf mulch and rich woodland soil. Disturb established plants as little as possible.
