Meconopsis cambrica
Commonly known as Welsh Poppy, is a delightful native perennial cherished for its striking papery bright yellow, sometimes orange, flowers, which grace the garden in spring.
Thriving equally well in sun or shade, it epitomizes the charm of the cottage garden aesthetic. With a height and spread of 30cm (1'), this plant generously self-seeds, adding a natural, informal touch to any landscape. Consider complementing it with other woodland treasures like Primula vulgaris (Primrose) or Pulmonaria spp. (Lungwort) for a captivating display.
