Blue Poppy
Large poppy-like, vivid blue flowers with hairy textured leaves. One of the most beautiful blue perennials. Originally from the Himalayan mountains. Best in semi-shaded spots. Avoid sun during the warmest hours in the warmer zones. Prefers humusy, well-drained soil. Avoid winter wetness and mulch in the summer to keep the base cooler. Good for naturalizing or wildflower gardens. We offer well-rooted plants in 2 1/2" pots. Zones 6-8.
