Stylophorum lasiandrum
Wood Poppy

  • Known as a spring ephemeral because it booms early and then disappears, although this native plant is more heat tolerant than others in this category and may persist into summer.

  • Yellow flowers are followed by fuzzy green seed pods.

  • Wood poppy grows about 1 foot tall.

  • Does well in full shade and well-drained soil.

  • Drought tolerant and deer resistant.
