Meconopsis Cambrica

AKA: Poppy, Himalyan Blue Poppy

Seed Savers: Chill seed for 3 weeks. Sow in winter in a good free-draining seed compost, covering the seed with a light sprinkling of compost. Place outdoors in a coldframe or sheltered area. Keep moist. Light frost is beneficial. Seeds should germinate in a bout 21 days. Leave for 5 weeks and then bring into a warmer area (60-70F). Once the seedlings have two real leaves, transplant them into 3” pots. Keep shaded. Once the plants are acclimatized transplant them outdoors into moist loam in a sheltered semi-shaded area. Here is my plan: Put the seed outside March 1 until March 21. Then sow in a pot or two, and put that outdoors in a sheltered place. In May, transplant to a sheltered and semi-shaded place, North or East side of a building, with good moisture and drainage.
