An early blooming perennial wildflower that is often one of the first to emerge in spring. Drooping yellow flowers emerge from upright vase shaped foliage that is bright green. Flower petals typically have a delicate twist to them. Blooms are followed by seed capsules that are reddish brown.

These blooms also support specialized bees making it a great addition for pollinator gardens. Many generalist bee species use the blooms for nectar and pollen as well. Foliage is very much enjoyed by deer and other mammals.

A good choice for woodland setting or areas where you need some early season color. Best grown in rich, moist soils with good organic matter.
