Meconopsis betonicifolia Hensol Violet has vivid violet-purple flowers embellishing this lovely variety of Meconopsis. Though this type of poppy is widely known as the 'Himalayan Blue Poppy', the violet colour lends a new and exciting alternative. The dark violet tissue-like petals look enchanting especially when a light breeze catches the flower like a sail and the plant gently sways. Native to the mountains of China and the Himalayas, Meconopsis grow most any place including rock gardens. The name Meconopsis means 'looking like a poppy', though the single-flowered 'Himalayan Blue Poppy' has an ethereal beauty most papavars cannot hope to achieve, to own and grow this violet variety brings allure to your garden
