Greater Celandine, Tetterwort
Chelidonium majus can grow to a height of over 70 centimeters and bloom from spring to fall.
A key feature of greater celandine is its orange-yellow sap. It’s toxic, can cause contact allergies, and is used as a natural remedy to get rid of warts.
Chelidonium majus is a biennial or perennial plant, but in my experience, it doesn’t live very long.
It spreads through seeds and runners. The flowers stay closed when the weather’s bad.
Family: Papaveraceae
Origin: Europe, Northern Africa, Asia and naturalized in North America.
