Meconopsis 'P.C. Abildgaard'

Common Name: 'Himalayan poppy'

AGM. A good, robust and floriferous form with big sky-blue flowers in late spring and early summer.  It is similar to Slieve Donard but the flowers are more loosely formed.  May-Jul. H100cm-125cm S60cm.

Care Instructions

Plant in moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil in an open situation or in partial shade. Keep well-watered in hot, dry weather and sheltered from cold drying winds. Summer drought is the worst “enemy” of these plants but also avoid boggy conditions. Divide every few years in early spring to maintain vigour.

This variety is part of the Infertile Blue Group of Meconopsis and is vegetatively propagated.
