Rare USA Stock, Fast Shipping Meconopsis betonicifolia, the Himalayan blue poppy, is a species of flowering plant in the family Papaveraceae. It was first formally named for western science in 1912 by the British officer Lt. Col. Frederick Marshman Bailey. - Wikipedia Scientific name: Meconopsis betonicifolia Genus: Meconopsis Family: PapaveraceaeThis rare flowering plant is known for its vibrant blue and purple tinged petals and was once considered a myth. It was discovered in 1933 by the acclaimed botanist, George Sheriff during an expedition to a remote region in eastern Bhutan.Indigenous cultures in many Asian countries highly value Meconopsis species. For example, the flowers of M. aculeata are used for the treatment of asthma, pain, fever and cough by local inhabitants of Chamba and Lahaul-Spiti, Himachal Pradesh and Bageshwar, Uttarakhand, India (Bahukhandi et al., 2019).Blue poppies are not poppies at all they belong to the meconopsis family they are called poppies due to their close resemblance to them.When people refer to the blue poppy they are usually referring to either Meconopsis Bailyeii or Meconopsis Lingholm. Meconopsis Lingholm is the most reliably perennial. They grow around 3 feet tall and should be planted in part shade or shade, and bloom in June and July.They grow in the Himalayas typically along stream banks, in a woodland type of soil. All of this is important being a cool weather plant, plant it in partial share or shade. Now having a moist well draining soil is important having moist wet air is just as important if not more so. Blue poppies are covered in a bunch of fine hairs the hairs are what capture the moisture in the air along those stream banks which helps keep those plants cool. This clump-forming perennial has strikingly unusual, delicate, blue, bowl-shaped flowers with yellow centers. The blooms develop in succession on the tall, leafy, bristly stems (that can grow up to 4 feet in height) through late spring and early summer and they pack a unique punch of color in shady borders.While blue poppies can be low-maintenance if they are provided with exactly the right type of environment, not every garden will be able to offer them the conditions they need to thrive.
