Spring Fever Yellow Iceland Poppy (Papaver nudicaule ‘Spring Fever Yellow’)

Spring Fever Yellow Iceland Poppy (Papaver nudicaule ‘Spring Fever Yellow’) is a cheerful, cool-season flowering plant known for its delicate, tissue-like yellow blooms held above fine, feathery foliage. This variety brings early-season colour to gardens, making it an excellent choice for spring displays, borders, and containers.

The bright yellow flowers appear in abundance and sway gracefully on slender stems, creating a soft, airy effect in the landscape. Its compact habit makes it ideal for edging, small garden spaces, and patio containers. Iceland poppies are particularly valued for their ability to thrive in cooler temperatures, offering colour when many other plants are just beginning to grow.

In Alberta, this poppy performs best in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. It prefers cooler growing conditions and benefits from consistent moisture, especially during active growth. It is often grown as a short-lived perennial or annual in Prairie climates
