Description

Celandine Poppy Seeds (Stylophorum diphyllum), Part-Full Shade Perennial Flower, Steep Hill Garden Seeds need cold stratification to germinate. Celandine Poppy is very happy in a woodland setting. Native to much of the east coast. Blooms mid-late April in the mid-Atlantic region. Germinating Celandine Poppy Seeds: These woodland beauties respond well to cultivation as long as the soil is high in organic material and the plants have plenty of shade. Many gardeners use celandine plants as a colorful shady woodland border, as it is one of the easiest spring woodland plants to grow. The best way to grow celandine poppies is by seed. The easiest method is to sow seeds outside soon after they are mature and let nature do its thing. Provide plenty of rich compost in the planting area and scatter seeds liberally over the soil. Cover the plants lightly and keep the soil evenly moist. The seeds should receive a cold, moist period followed by a warm period. Seeds planted in the summer/fall will germinate in spring but not bloom until the second season. The next spring, by next April/May, in Zone 6/7, you should see small plants. Thin seedlings when they are 4 inches tall. Plant spacing should be about 12 inches. If you would like to start the seeds matching nature yourself the seeds need a warm, moist period followed by a cold, moist period: Mix seeds with sterile media. Place the mixture in a sealed plastic bag in a warm place (about 80 degrees F) for 60-90 days. Then place in the refrigerator for another 60-90 days. Then plant. Plants are very happy in a woodland setting or on the edge of the woods. Plants will die back in the summer after the seed pods open and spread their seeds. Plants are perennial and will produce pretty seed pods after the blooms fade. Simply let seed pods naturally dry and split, and drop seeds for additional plants. Very easy to grow organically.
