Meconopsis sheldonii Lingholm
Blue Poppy
Description
Meconopsis sheldonii 'Lingholm' is a spectacular Himalayan blue poppy, celebrated for its breathtaking sapphire-blue flowers. The plant produces large, bowl-shaped blooms with prominent yellow stamens, creating a striking contrast. 'Lingholm' is a hybrid that tends to be more robust and easier to grow than some other Meconopsis varieties, though it still requires specific conditions. These perennials prefer cool, moist conditions and partial shade, similar to their native mountain habitats. They need acidic, well-drained soil, rich in organic matter. The beautiful blue blooms make a statement in woodland gardens, shaded borders, and damp areas of the garden. Success with these plants often means creating the right microclimate, mimicking their natural environment. Provide ample moisture, especially during the growing season, to promote healthy growth and flowering.
