I love blue meconopsis. Have you seen the display at Harlow Carr (near Harrogate) down by the stream.? I am stunned by it every time I have been there.
No, i'm afraid i'm a long way from Harrogate (high up in South Wales). I've grown these from seed and it looks like this year 2 out of 4 are going to flower
These have taken 3 years to flower, but during that time i've done nothing to them. They've not been fed but because of where i live they have had a lot of water! I didn't have any problem with germination, i just followed the instructions on the packet - 2 weeks in the greenhouse and then into the fridge until shoots appeared. I guess i've been a bit lucky
beautiful- what's your secret? I've tried and tried to grow these from seed without success... bought one in a 9" pot after seeing it on Chelsea Flower show. Hope it seeds itself everywhere without me having to try yet again!

Well done.

Well onr gurbian, it's no mean feat to grow meconopsis from seed and keep them alive long enough to flower! I think I'll try one more time..

So lovely
I'm envious, I've failed in attempts to grow them. I love blue flowers.
