Yellow Horned Poppy, Horned Poppy, Bruisewort, Sea Poppy, Seaside Poppy, Glaucium luteum
Glaucium flavum (Yellow Horned Poppy) is a short-lived perennial forming a handsome rosette of deeply incised, scalloped, blue-gray leaves. In late spring and summer, bright yellow poppy flowers, 3 in. across (8 cm), are borne on branched stems above the foliage. Adding months of color, they are attractive to bees. They give way to long, narrow, seed pods, 6 in. (15 cm), that ripen in late summer to spread their seed around the garden. Yellow Horned Poppy is easy to grow and undemanding. It reseeds freely in good growing conditions, springing up and shining in the garden year after year.
