The golden poppy plant is native to woodland areas and does well in moist, fertile soil. Its striking yellow and orange blooms contrast with its blue-green leaves, making a charming contrast. A spring bloomer, it is native to Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio.

Golden Poppy Plants grow between March and May

The golden poppy self-sows and thrives well in moist soil with plenty of shade. On average, it grows to around 24 inches in height. Although it tends to be a wild woodland type, it grows well in gardens, providing plenty of organic-rich soil and shade.

Growing These Plants From Seeds

With the right growing conditions, they tend to germinate fast. Sprinkle the seeds liberally among the soil and provide plenty of compost. When the seedlings sprout and are about 4 inches tall, it is essential to thin them out. The germinated one needs plenty of space to grow.

Plant The Perennial 12 Inches Apart

The remaining ones should be around 12 inches apart. If you set out your seeds in the fall, they will germinate in the spring but will not bloom until the following year. Although they tend to grow in two to three months, if you use the procedure of deadheading, essentially cutting off the blooms after some time, it is possible to have blooms for most of the summer.

This Plant Loves Moist Shady Places

As long as you replicate their natural moist, shady environment, Golden Poppy Plants will multiply, produce a striking border for your garden, and tend to attract bees. They are great plants.
