HIMALAYAN BLUE POPPY/DUTCH GROWN
RARE AZURE COLOR!
Blue Poppy Meconopsis sp.

╰⊰✿Grown at Monticello by Thomas Jefferson and Awarded the prestigious "Award of Garden Merit" from The Royal Horticultural Society, this head-turning rare Himalayan beauty boast an exceptionally vibrant past and rare Azure color.

First described in 1814 by a French botanist visiting Tibet. The elusive flower was considered fabled until 1922, when a failed expedition to the summit of Mt. Everest led to its discovery by a legendary mountaineer named, George Leigh Mallory. Four years later, the tantalizing flower was all the buzz at the Royal Horticultural Society and soon after made its way into cottage gardens across the world.
Today, the Blue Poppy is sought after for its rare color and as welcomed addition to delectable sweets and pastries. Nutritious and used in cuisines around the world. Thriving in a compost-rich, well-draining, slightly acidic soil, this perennial with its 3-4 inch wide petals and long stems will enhance your shade garden and indoor vases throughout the summer season.

Flowers and dried seed pods make wonderful arrangements. For those with an artistic flair the dried pods can also be spray painted and glittered.

GERMINATION:
☑ DIFFICULTY: MEDIUM. I know Blue Poppy is gorgeous but not everyone can grow them. They're not being temperamental but are cool natured and naturalized by the Dutch to cold winters and cool summers. The Blue Poppy is not a tropical and will not suffer extreme or dry heat.
☑ IN-GROUND
☑ ZONES: PERENNIAL 5-6
☑ COLD STRATIFY: seeds in your refrigerator or freezer (90 days or all winter) sowing the seeds before the first frost in fall or after the last frost before Spring.
☑ TIP: MIX YOUR SEEDS WITH A LITTLE SAND FOR BETTER DISPERSAL.
☑ SUN: SHADE-PART SHADE
☑ BLOOMS: Mid-summer.
☑ LIKES: A cold winter and a cool summer.
☑ DISLIKES: 'Wet feet' or standing in water.
