Description

Meconopsis ‘China Blue’ is a breath-taking perennial that is an absolute must-have for a shady, moist spot in slightly acid soil. Large, saucer-shaped flowers with petals that appear fashioned out of silk crepe, shimmer in an exquisite shade of pale cobalt, perfectly contrasting with the speckles of orange/yellow stamens at the centre. The flowers are held on tall stems above rosettes of bluish-green leaves that are covered in fine hairs.

Arguably one of the best blue Meconopsis, photographs cannot do justice to the luminosity of the colour that strangely shines out in half-light– it has to be seen in the flesh. A challenge to raise from seed, these plugs provide a much easier but economical way to grow these rare beauties. RHS Award of Garden Merit. Height: 90cm (35in). Spread: 45cm (18in).

How to Grow
Pot up meconopsis plants into peaty compost and grow them on in bright, frost-free conditions with protection from strong, direct sunlight. When they are well grown, acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days, prior to planting out in their final positions. Choose a sheltered spot in semi or dappled shade - a cool, moist woodland situation is ideal, but the Himalayan poppy will also thrive in a moist, shaded border. Meconopsis prefers a rich, moist, neutral to acid, well drained soil that remains moist throughout summer, but does not sit wet in winter.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info
Meconopsis poppies particularly dislike dry soils and excessive heat. Water regularly during hot, dry periods to prevent the soil from drying out. In spring, apply a mulch of chipped bark, leaf mould or other organic matter around the crown of the plant. Deadhead faded blue meconopsis flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced.
