Himalayan Blue Poppy 'Marit'
Award-winning Meconopsis ‘Marit’ (Himalayan Poppy) is a short-lived, clump-forming perennial boasting large, silky, cup-shaped, white flowers, 5 in. wide (12 cm), with contrasting golden stamens. Borne in succession on erect leafy stems, the striking blossoms rise with majesty from an upright rosette of hairy, oval leaves and give way to narrow seed pods. Covered in long ginger hairs, the seed capsules are decorative but contain no viable seed. Planted in small groups, the delicate flowers will bring charm and elegance to your shady borders and draw attention from late spring to early summer.
