Growing patterns
Unlike most members of the Meconopsis genus, the Himalayan blue poppy follows a perennial growth pattern; it regrows each year.

Since the Himalayan blue poppy is endemic to cold, mountainous regions, it grows poorly in hot climates. Scandanavia, the British Isles and the northeastern regions of the United States are ideal areas for growing them.

Soil conditions
The Himalayan blue poppy requires nutrient-rich soil with a loamy, humus-rich texture. The soil should be moderately acidic, but the plant cannot tolerate added lime.

Coloration
As the name implies, Himalayan blue poppies are noted for their rich blue color. The blue tones are more intense when the plant is grown in peaty, acidic soil. I puchased these from an exotic flower seed store online and had enough to share
