Hyalomecon japonicum

An exquisite Japanese woodlander, 1’high x 2’wide mounds of pinnate foliage smothered in spring with 2” yellow meconopsis like flowers. This is another legendary plant that is seldom offered and in my experience always wrong from seed. Hyalomecon is generally considered monotypic although up to 9 minor variations have been described. I have found it rather easy in our shade gardens, however it does not like being pot grown
