Welsh poppy (Papaver cambricum) is a cheerful, easy-to-grow perennial that produces bright yellow or orange flowers and thrives in shaded or partially shaded woodland garden settings. It self-seeds freely, so plant it where you are happy for it to naturalize. Keep the soil moist and well-drained, and deadhead spent blooms if you wish to limit spreading.
