Notes: Celandine Poppy is a handsome perennial with bluish-green lobed leaves, the plants forming 11/2-foot clumps. From March to May, clusters of bright yellow, 2-inch buttercup-like flowers appear and are followed by nodding green hairy pods. Under dry conditions, the plant may go dormant in midsummer, otherwise it may flower on and off into fall. Celandine Poppy is a favorite wildflower for moist, rich, lightly wooded area
