Organic Celandine (Chelidonium Majus)
Greater celandine has an erect habit, and may reach 30 to 120 cm high. The leaves are lobed and crenate, 30 cm long. The sap is yellow to orange. The flowers consist of four yellow petals, each about 1 cm long, with two sepals.
A double-flowered variety occurs naturally. The flowers appear from late spring to summer in umbelliform cymes of about 4 flowers. The seeds are small and black, borne in a long capsule. Each has an elaiosome, which attracts ants to disperse the seeds ( myrmecochory ).It is considered an aggressive invasive plant in natural areas (both woods and fields). Control is mainly via pulling or spraying the plant before seed dispersal.
Grows readily from seed on most soils. Seed requires a period of chilling to break dormancy so sowing should be carried out in late summer or autumn. If the sown site is left undisturbed for too many years Greater celandine is likely to be replaced by more robust perennials. Should this occur disturbing the soil in autumn will allow dormant seed to germinate and a new generation of plants to colonize the area. We do not normally hold large stocks of this species so it is not present in any of our mixtures.
