Snow poppy is an herbaceous perennial distinguished by its delicate, crystalline white flowers, measuring approximately 2 inches (5 cm) wide. Each bloom consists of four petals surrounding a cluster of bright golden-yellow stamens. Emerging in early spring, these flowers rise just above the plant’s lovely oval foliage, which showcases scalloped edges. This groundcover achieves a height of around 16 inches (40 cm) and spreads effectively via rhizomes.
