5 Seeds Greater Celandine Chelidonium majus Yellow Flower Plant

Greater Celandine (Chelidonium majus) is a hardy herbaceous perennial known for its bright yellow, four-petaled flowers that appear from late spring through summer above lobed green foliage. It naturalizes readily in shaded borders, woodland gardens, and wildflower areas, where its cheerful blooms and self-seeding habit create a relaxed, cottage-garden feel.
Often grown as an ornamental for its long bloom period and tolerance of difficult shady spots, Greater Celandine works well in naturalized plantings, pollinator-friendly gardens, and informal borders. It thrives in moist, well-drained soils and can spread by seed once established, making it a good choice for gardeners seeking low-maintenance seasonal color.
