Saucer-shaped blooms with almost tissue-paper like petals are held on fuzzy stems above rosettes of hairy foliage. Native to the mountains of China and the Himalayas, Meconopsis grow almost anywhere that is not in direct sunlight for prolonged periods. The name Meconopsis means ‘looking like a poppy’, the single flowers boast an ethereal beauty that most Papaver cannot hope to achieve. Your ‘Mystical Meconopsis’ collection comprises; betonicifolia ‘Lingholm’ – the famous ‘Himalayan Blue Poppy’ boasting rich blue blooms with bright sunshine yellow stamen from May to July, height 1m, spread 50cm, hardy to around -15°C; baileyi ‘Alba’ – unusual and pristine white petals surround a burnt orange centre created by the protruding stamen from May to July, height 1m, spread 50cm, hardy to around -10°C; and baileyi ‘Hensol Violet’ – originating from Hensol Castle in Wales, silky flowers in vivid violet-blue with contrasting yellow stamens in May and June, height 1.2m, spread 50cm, hardy to around -10°C. Perfect for shady borders or woodland areas, with an east or west facing aspect, Meconopsis thrive in shady or partially sunny areas in moist, but well drained acidic to neutral soil. Classed as hardy herbaceous perennials, the foliage will die back over the winter, with new growth appearing in the spring.
