A plant which, when introduced to the gardening world, caused a major stir. Meconopsis betonicifolia ‘Lingholm’ (the legendary Himalayan Blue Poppy) is now less of a rarity and available for all of us to plant in our gardens. Meconopsis betonicifolia ‘Lingholm’ is as blue as the clear sky on a summer’s day; made even more spectacular by the sunshine yellow stamen. For impact, drama, and effect this ‘poppy’ really takes some beating. Native to the mountains of China and the Himalayas will grow almost anywhere, including rock gardens, if provided with appropriate levels of shade. The name Meconopsis means ‘looking like a poppy’, though the single-flowered ‘Himalayan Blue Poppy’ has a beauty most Papaver cannot hope to achieve. To own and grow this original variety brings a magical quality to your garden. Meconopsis betonicifolia ‘Lingholm’ prefers to be grown in moist, well-drained soil in partial or dappled shade with an east or west facing aspect. A hardy, herbaceous perennial which reaches a mature height of around 1m and will spread to around 50cm.
