The Rare and Prized Blue Poppy!
Poppy 'Blue Himalayan'
'Blue Himalayan' Poppy is one of Park's Garden Gems!
Thrives in partial shade.
The rare and prized 'Blue Himalayan' Poppy produces sky-blue 2- to 2 1/2-inch flowers in partial shade. Best in Pacific northwest and cool northeast areas, it reaches 3 to 4 feet tall, 2 feet wide, and flowers in early to midsummer in most climates, its radiant azure blooms topping long, slender stems. One of Nature's finest plants, it is a treasure for any garden!
The flowers have a crepe-like texture and are saturated with hard-to-find color. A ring of bright orange stamens in the center complements the azure tones nicely. Ideal for cutting, they arise high above a ground-level rosette of deep green foliage.
Give this plant excellent soil drainage for best flowering. It is ideal for rock gardens, and doesn't mind drying out a bit between waterings. Zones 6-8. One of Park's Garden Gems! Pkt is 100 seeds.
