Poppy Plant (Stylophorum diphyllum)

Wood poppy (Stylophorum diphyllum) is a herbaceous perennial plant that belongs to the poppy family. It is native to eastern North America and can be found in wooded areas, stream banks, and moist meadows.

This yellow bloomin perennial favorite grows to 1 to 2 feet and has bright yellow, cup-shaped flowers that bloom in late spring or early summer. The flowers are about 2 inches in diameter and have four petals.

The leaves of the wood poppy are deeply lobed and can grow up to 6 inches across. They are bright green and add to the plant's attractive appearance.

Wood poppy is often grown in gardens and landscaping for their showy flowers and attractive foliage. It prefers partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. It is easy to grow and low-maintenance, making it a popular choice for gardeners.

Poppy Plant: Stylophorum diphyllum, the yellow poppy plant, is a North American native wildflower species that adds a sunny burst of warmth anyplace it blooms. It grows in the moderate USDA growing zones with little care, making these flowers a TN Nursery customer favorite.

The poppy plant grows in attractive, small clumps that look fantastic in flower beds and borders or when you plant them in large containers. If you use them in a border garden, place them in a middle row, as they can reach from one to two feet high.

Besides the common name, poppy, Stylophorum diphyllum has a few other nicknames, including these:

  • Celandine Poppy
  • Wood poppy
  • Woods-poppy
  • Yellow Wood Poppy

Whatever label you give them, you will love the zesty yellow show of color in any partially-shaded or full-shade location.

Where to Plant Your Poppy Plants

Poppies are self-seeding plants. However, they are not aggressive growers, so you can plant them without fear of them taking over the entire flower bed!

A relatively maintenance-free plant, the yellow poppy plant needs about an inch of water weekly but needs soil that drains well. Amend the soil with compost in spring, and tuck your poppies in for the winter with a protective layer of hardwood mulch.

The Tall, Elegant Poppy Plant

Poppy plants have a reputation for looking tall and leggy. These tall, golden flowers have four softly-rounded petals per flower; each petal has charming, ruffled edges. The blossoms form a shallow cup shape. When open, the flowers can be as large as three inches across.

They grow from a single, pleasing green stem with soft hairs that add an interesting textural element. The lobed leaves are silvery-green and form in opposing pairs on the stem.

The general look of the yellow poppy plant is tall, glamorous, and cheerful. It makes an impactful color statement.
