Blue Poppy - 1


Meconopsis has been a popular genus with gardeners for more than a century, ever since its introduction into western gardens from the Far East. But in recent years, problems of identification and naming have arisen due to hybridisation amongst the various species growing close together in gardens. The Meconopsis Group was founded in 1998 to try to resolve the confusion. The initial remit was to clarify the identities and nomenclature of the many forms of big perennial blue poppies found in cultivation.
