BLUE POPPY HIMALAYAN TIBETAN
Meconopsis grandis
SKU: 443-010
Description
The true form of the Himalayan Blue Poppy! Flowers have silky rich-blue petals, and a large golden eye. Stems are very strong, and leaves are interestingly hairy! These seeds are reliable germinators as long as they are given cool temperatures (see germination instructions below). We find this Blue Poppy to be one of the easiest of the Blue Poppies to grow from seed, and it will bloom the first year from seed with an early sowing.
Rare, and only available for a limited time.
Type: Hardy Perennial
Height: 60-90 cm
Hardiness zones: 4-8
Location: Shade or part sun
Seeds per pack: 10
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Availability: If these seeds are showing out of stock, we strongly recommend joining our wait list, as these seeds have a very shorty viability window, and this helps ensure you get the freshest seeds possible! If they are available, they will only be available for a limited time.
Germination: It is very important to start these seeds right away to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. These seeds require light to germinate. Sow the seeds on the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Keep them at 20C for germination. Do not us a heat mat or they will not grow. The seeds generally germinate in 4-6 weeks, though some can take longer so be sure to keep moist. Once germination occurs, place them in a cooler location for them to grow larger, about 15C is ideal.
